feat(ui): render DXF text annotations in CAD converter preview

Extract MText and TextEntity from the CadDocument during DXF import
and render them in the EntityView. Handles text alignment (left/center/
right via InsertPoint vs AlignmentPoint) and replaces AutoCAD control
codes (%%p → ±, %%d → °, %%c → ⌀). MText formatting codes are
stripped before display.
