feat(api): accept complete nesting jobs and report fulfillment

Task 6 of the whole-job engine API: adapt the public NestRequest/NestRunner/
NestResponse surface to delegate to the whole-job runner instead of a manual
quantity loop.

- NestRequest: optional explicit Plates stock list (null keeps the legacy
  unlimited SheetSize fallback; empty list means no available stock),
  optional per-part Id (derived as part-{index} when absent), and an explicit
  PlacementStrategy that takes precedence over the legacy Strategy.
- NestRequestPlate: one physical-stock type (id, size, quantity, spacing,
  quadrant).
- NestRunner: imports each DXF once, propagates priority/rotation constraints,
  runs a single NestJobRunner solve, materializes ID/pose placements exactly
  once, and reports aggregate utilization as total placed part area over total
  physical sheet area.
- NestResponse: exposes status, stop reason, part fulfillment, stock usage,
  and plate-to-stock mapping; .nestquote save/load gains a schema version and
  reports completion as unknown for old archives lacking fulfillment metadata.
- Tests: extend the Api request/runner/persistence suites for legacy SheetSize,
  explicit mixed finite stock, stock exhaustion, weighted utilization, old
  archive loading, and new-archive round trips.

Verification: cross-compiles clean on net8.0-windows (Linux). The Api tests
require a Windows runner (net8.0-windows) and are NOT executed here; the
delegated engine logic is covered by the 70-test net8.0 Engine.Tests suite
(committed in Task 5). Windows runtime verification remains outstanding.
