Add numpy axis-index constants + silence MEP-transition prints

ShapeBuilder gains module-level NP_X / NP_Y / NP_Z / NP_XY / NP_XZ /
NP_YZ / NP_YX axis-index constants. Downstream geometry builders had
been redefining local copies for indexing np.ndarray vectors of shape
(3,) or (N, 3); centralising removes the duplication.

mep_transition_length and mep_transition_calculate verbose default
flipped from True to False. The prints are diagnostic-only output;
True-by-default spammed the console on every transition computation,
which fires per-fitting on IFC load.
