fix: resolve infinite loop in multi-plate autonest and wire into console

- Change while(true) to bounded for-loop (max 100 plates) in MainForm
- Use Drawing.Name comparison instead of reference equality for quantity deduction
- Add Math.Max(0, ...) guard to prevent negative quantities
- Tune SA parameters for faster convergence (cooling=0.995, minTemp=0.1, maxNoImprove=500)
- Add --autonest flag to OpenNest.Console for CLI-based NFP autonesting
