Add CTRL+ALT+Click regex-search dialog to five select operators

Opens a props dialog prefilled with the active object's value (key
value, type name, material name, group name, or aggregate name), then
matches it as an unanchored Python regex (entering foo behaves like
.*foo.*) with an Add / Remove / Filter action dropdown and an "Also
Unhide Hidden Objects" checkbox. Applied to select_similar,
select_similar_type, select_by_material, select_group_elements and
select_aggregate.

Multi-match operators (groups, aggregates) union their matches before
a single Spatial.select_products call so Filter cannot wrongly
intersect per-match. select_aggregate matches only IfcElement
aggregates, excluding spatial decomposition, and exposes Also Select
Parts / One Level Deep in the dialog. The equivalent selector query
(e.g. material = /.*foo.*/) is copied to the clipboard.

- **`select_ifc_class` filter matches subtypes** (`element.is_a(cls)`), consistent
with normal select mode which uses `file.by_type(cls)` (also subtype-inclusive).
### Regex-search dialog on `select_similar`, `select_similar_type`, `select_by_material`, `select_group_elements`, `select_aggregate` (CTRL+ALT+Click)
On `select_aggregate` the pattern is prefilled with the active object's **aggregate
name** and matched against every `IfcRelAggregates.RelatingObject` that `is_a
IfcElement` (spatial decomposition — project/site/storey — deliberately excluded);
the dialog additionally exposes "Also Select Parts" (+ "One Level Deep") since the
panel's two button variants collapse into one dialog. Union of matched aggregates
(+ parts via `get_parts`/`get_decomposition`) through one `Spatial.select_products`
call; clipboard query `parent = /.*foo.*/`.
On `select_similar_type` the pattern is prefilled with (and matched against) the active
object's **type name**; the clipboard query is `type = /.*foo.*/`. On
`select_by_material` it is the active object's **resolved material name** (via the
#7940 helpers: usage → set, clicked-layer index as hint, `_get_name`), falling back to
the clicked material row's name; clipboard query `material = /.*foo.*/`. On
`select_group_elements` it is the clicked group row's **name**, matched against all
`IfcGroup` names in the file (unnamed groups never match); the union of the matching
groups' elements (recursive by default) goes through a single
`Spatial.select_products` call — union first, so FILTER cannot wrongly intersect
per-group; clipboard query `group = /.*foo.*/`. Otherwise identical to the
`select_similar` behavior below.
Opens a props dialog prefilled with the active object's value for the clicked key; the
(possibly edited) text is compiled as an unanchored Python regex (`re.search`, so
entering `foo` behaves like `.*foo.*`) and applied via an Add / Remove / Filter
dropdown, plus an "Also Unhide Hidden Objects" checkbox (reuses `should_unhide`; in
Add/Remove it sweeps `scene.objects` instead of `visible_objects` and clears both
hide flags on matches; a no-op in Filter since selected objects are visible). CTRL+ALT was free in practice: ALT (unhide) is a no-op in filter mode, which
plain CTRL triggers. Invalid patterns error out and cancel. The equivalent selector
query (`Key = /.*foo.*/`) is copied to the clipboard. Note the prefill is the raw
value — values containing regex metacharacters (e.g. `(`) need escaping before OK.
Overriding `draw()` for the dialog means the F9 redo panel no longer auto-lists the
operator's internal properties for normal runs (it was exposing internals anyway).
### Deliberately overwritten SHIFT bindings (to be reworked later)
Two operators already used SHIFT; the owner chose to overwrite them and revisit with
