When an item was too large for every plate option, its dimensions dominated
the global min-dimension filter, causing all candidate plates to be rejected.
This made auto-nesting exit immediately with no results even when the other
items could fit. Oversized items are now excluded from the filter so the
remaining items nest normally.

- Try all valid best fit pairs instead of only the first when qty=2,
picking the best via IsBetterFill comparer (fixes suboptimal plate
selection during auto-nesting)
- Pre-compute best fits across all plate sizes once via
BestFitCache.ComputeForSizes instead of per-size GPU evaluation
- Early exit plate optimizer when all items fit (salvage < 100%)
- Trim slide offset sweep range to 50% overlap to reduce candidates
- Use actual geometry (ray-arc/ray-circle intersection) instead of
tessellated polygons for slide distance computation — eliminates
the massive line count from circle/arc tessellation
- Add RayArcDistance and RayCircleDistance to SpatialQuery
- Add PartGeometry.GetOffsetPerimeterEntities for non-tessellated
perimeter extraction
- Disable GPU slide computer (slower than CPU currently)
- Remove dead SelectBestFitPair virtual method and overrides
Reduces best fit computation from 7+ minutes to ~4 seconds for a
73x25" part with 30+ holes on a 48x96 plate.

When plate costs are equal (e.g. all zero), the optimizer now picks the
plate size with the tightest density instead of the smallest plate.

Tries each candidate plate size via the nesting engine, compares results
by part count then net cost (accounting for salvage credit on remnant
material), and returns the best option.
