PairFiller now returns PairFillResult (Parts + BestFits) instead of
using a mutable BestFits property. Extracted EvaluateCandidates,
TryReduceWorkArea, and BuildTilingAngles for clarity. Simplified the
candidate loop by leveraging FillScore comparison semantics.
Removed FillRemainingStrip and all its helpers (FindPlacedEdge,
BuildRemainingStrip, BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill, TryFewerRows,
RemainderPatterns) from FillLinear — these were a major bottleneck in
strip nesting, running expensive fills on undersized remnant strips.
ShrinkFiller + RemnantFiller already handle space optimization, making
the remainder strip fill redundant.

StripNestEngine was passing progress directly to DefaultNestEngine.Fill
inside the ShrinkFiller loop, causing every per-angle/per-strategy report
to update the UI with overlapping layouts in the same work area.
Now inner fills are silent (null progress) and ShrinkFiller reports its
own progress when the best layout improves. IterativeShrinkFiller tracks
placed parts across items and includes them in reports. The trial box is
reported before the fill starts so the work area border updates immediately.

When a target count is known, ShrinkFiller now uses FillBestFit (fast
rectangle packing) to estimate how many parts fit on the full area,
then scales the shrink axis proportionally to avoid an expensive
full-area fill. Falls back to full box if estimate is too aggressive.
Also shrinks to targetCount (not full count) to produce tighter boxes
when fewer parts are needed than the area can hold.
IterativeShrinkFiller passes NestItem.Quantity as the target count.

Introduces IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill, which composes RemnantFiller and
ShrinkFiller by wrapping the caller's fill function in a closure that tries
both ShrinkAxis.Height and ShrinkAxis.Width and picks the better FillScore.
Adds IterativeShrinkResult (Parts + Leftovers). Covers null/empty inputs and
single-item placement with three passing xUnit tests.
