feat(benchmark): add --progress logging for engine solves

Long whole-job solves ran silently, so there was no way to tell a slow
engine from a hung one until the timeout fired. --progress hands each
solve a JobProgressLog that prints [job/engine] lines for start, finish
(or failure/timeout), every plate commit, and candidate evaluations
throttled to one line per 2 s so parallel runs stay readable.

Layouts are validated (bounds, spacing, quantity, rotation, stock match); invalid runs place nothing and pay the penalty. `--parallel` (default 3) speeds up scoring but inflates `Time(ms)` — use `--parallel 1` when comparing speed. Pass `--sheet-sizes` for an unbiased run; otherwise only each file's original sizes are offered. Custom engines drop in as DLLs implementing `INestingEngine` (public parameterless constructor) in an `Engines/` folder next to the benchmark. Community engines live in [OpenNest-Engines](https://git.thecozycat.net/aj/OpenNest-Engines).
