The BestFitFilter's aspect ratio cap of 5.0 was rejecting valid pair
candidates needed for narrow plates (e.g. 60x6.5, aspect 9.2) and
remainder strips on normal plates. Three fixes:
- BestFitFinder: derive MaxAspectRatio from the plate's own aspect
ratio so narrow plates don't reject all elongated pairs
- SelectPairCandidates: search the full unfiltered candidate list
(not just Keep=true) in strip mode, so pairs rejected by aspect
ratio for the main plate can still be used for narrow remainder
strips
- BestFitCache.Populate: skip caching empty result lists so stale
pre-computed data from nest files doesn't prevent recomputation
Also fixes console --size parsing to use LxW format matching
Size.Parse convention, and includes prior engine refactoring
(sequential fill loops, parallel FillPattern, pre-sorted edge
arrays in RotationSlideStrategy).

Thread ISlideComputer through BestFitCache → BestFitFinder →
RotationSlideStrategy. RotationSlideStrategy now collects all offsets
across 4 push directions and dispatches them in a single batch (GPU or
CPU fallback). Also improves rotation angle extraction: uses raw geometry
(line endpoints + arc cardinal extremes) instead of tessellation to avoid
flooding the hull with near-duplicate edge angles, and adds a 5-degree
deduplication threshold.

"Length" is more natural than "height" for flat plate materials.
Renames the field on OpenNest.Geometry.Size, Box.Height property,
and all references across 38 files.

Add PushDirection.Right and PushDirection.Up to RotationSlideStrategy so
parts can approach from all four directions. This discovers concave
interlocking arrangements (e.g. L-shaped parts nesting into each other's
cavities) that the original Left/Down-only slides could never reach.
Introduce BestFitCache so best-fit results are computed once at step size
0.25 and shared between the viewer and nesting engine. The GPU evaluator
factory is configured once at startup instead of being wired per call
site, and NestEngine.CreateEvaluator is removed.

- Fill(NestItem) and Fill(List<Part>) now delegate to their Box overloads
- Add Part.CreateAtOrigin() to replace repeated 4-line build-at-origin pattern
used in NestEngine, RotationSlideStrategy, and PairEvaluator
- Remove dead code: FillArea overloads, Fill(NestItem, int), FillWithPairs(NestItem),
ConvertTileResultToParts, PackBottomLeft.FindPointHorizontal, Pattern.GetLines/GetOffsetLines,
unused count variable in FillNoRotation
- Simplify IsBetterValidFill to delegate to IsBetterFill after overlap check
NestEngine reduced from 717 to 484 lines.

The perpendicular sweep started at perpMin (e.g. -8.75) which with
coarse step sizes never landed on offset=0, missing the perfect
side-by-side and stacked same-orientation patterns for rectangular parts.
