chore: move plugin engines to the OpenNest-Engines repo

Browse Source 
Engines now live in https://git.thecozycat.net/aj/OpenNest-Engines (history
carried over) so they can be published independently, and so a copy of
OpenNest handed to a model for an engine-building run contains no
competing engines. Engines still load at runtime from an Engines/ folder
next to the app/benchmark output; nothing in the solution referenced them.

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; in-repo plugin engines live in the top-level `Engines/` source folder and build with `./Engines/Build-Engines.ps1`.
