feat: add sentinel plate and plate list enhancements

Browse Source 
Always keep a trailing empty plate so users can immediately place parts
without manually adding a plate. Auto-appends a new sentinel when parts
land on the last plate; trims excess trailing empties on removal.

Plate list now shows Parts count and Utilization % columns. Empty plates
are filtered from save and export. Sentinel updates are deferred via
BeginInvoke to avoid collection-modified exceptions and debounced to
prevent per-part overhead on bulk operations.
