Add PackBoundary: a closed outline with obstacles, bound to one
NoFitCache, whose per-orientation inner-fit polygon (the clearance
footprint inside the outline eroded by the other half clearance) is
computed once and shared. FrontierPacker takes an optional boundary and
seeds each region from that inner fit, drops orientations with no fit
and subtracts obstacle no-fit polygons like clamp ones; without a
boundary it is unchanged, so rectangular stock layouts are identical.
CutoutLatticeFill.InnerFit now calls the shared kernel with the same
Clipper operations, so lattice results are unchanged. The engine's
strategy variants are internal so a cutout proposal can reuse them.

The frontier packer reports its placements after each choice; the engine
turns them into preview parts at most four times a second and sends them as
NestProgress.BestParts with the stock work area, which desktop Auto Nest
already draws on the plate view. Reporting only reads finished placements,
so layouts are unchanged with or without a progress sink.

Moves the two production plug-in engines into OpenNest.Engine under names
that describe the jobs they suit:
- Rectangles: plain and near-rectangular plates, maximal-rectangles box
packing (was the RectanglesNestingEngine plug-in)
- Irregular: irregular profiles, no-fit-polygon frontier packing (was the
Opus55NestingEngine plug-in)
Their tests and the shared engine contract/layout test kit move into
OpenNest.Engine.Tests/NestingEngines.
The registry maps the old plug-in names to the new engines, so saved desktop
selections, scripts and API requests keep working, and a leftover plug-in DLL
under an old name cannot shadow its replacement. Desktop startup passes the
registry's lookup when restoring the saved Auto Nest engine.
