fix(ifcdiff): check attributes by default so PredefinedType changes are caught (#8214)

IfcDiff defaulted to relationships=["geometry"], so a plain diff only ever
compared geometry. Attribute-only edits on an element that kept its GlobalId
(a modified or removed PredefinedType, a renamed element, etc.) were silently
missed. The CLI made this worse: --relationships did not list "attributes" or
"geometry" as valid values, so there was no documented way to enable it.

The default is now ["attributes", "geometry"], so a plain `ifcdiff old new`
reports attribute changes alongside geometry changes. The CLI help and the
IfcDiff docstring now document all valid relationship values.

Added a regression test covering a PredefinedType change detected with the
default configuration.
