feat: Implement IPC backend for real-time UI synchronization

Add KiCAD IPC API backend using kicad-python library for real-time
communication with KiCAD 9.0+. Changes now appear instantly in KiCAD
UI without manual reload.

Key changes:
- Implement IPCBackend and IPCBoardAPI classes for IPC communication
- Auto-detect IPC availability and fall back to SWIG when unavailable
- Route existing commands (route_trace, add_via, place_component, etc.)
  through IPC automatically when available
- Add transaction support for proper undo/redo
- Add socket path auto-detection for Linux (/tmp/kicad/api.sock)

New commands:
- get_backend_info: Check which backend is active

Supported IPC operations:
- Board: set_size, get_board_info, save
- Routing: route_trace, add_via, add_net
- Components: place, move, delete, list
- Text: add_text, add_board_text

SWIG backend is now deprecated and will be removed when KiCAD 10.0
drops SWIG support.

Requires: kicad-python>=0.5.0, KiCAD 9.0+ with IPC enabled
