test: add IfcConvert end-to-end coverage for point/vertex representations

Addresses aothms's review comment on PR #8759: "Please add some end-
to-end test that mimics IfcConvert." ifcopenshell.geom.create_shape()
succeeding is not proof that the actual output pipeline works;
these tests invoke the real IfcConvert binary and inspect the
resulting files, for Vertex/Point/PointCloud representations
(#134/#1409/#5218) alongside an ordinary extruded wall in the same
model as a regression check:

- OBJ: parses the output, checks every point/vertex/point-cloud
  object has exactly as many "p" records as vertices (and no "f"),
  with correct coordinates and distinct/contiguous indices; checks
  the wall still produces "f" records and no "p".
- glTF (.glb): parses the binary container's JSON chunk directly and
  checks a mode=0 (POINTS) primitive exists with the right vertex
  count, and that the wall's mesh is unaffected (mode=4, TRIANGLES).
- Collada (.dae): checks IfcConvert still exits cleanly and writes
  the point-cloud's raw position data, with no <triangles>/<lines>
  primitive (COLLADA has no points primitive to write).
