Add ifcquery CLI tool for IFC model interrogation

Provides four subcommands for querying IFC models with JSON output:
- summary: schema, entity counts, project info
- tree: spatial hierarchy (Project > Site > Building > Storey > elements)
- info: deep element inspection (attributes, psets, type, material, container)
- select: filter elements using selector syntax
