Wire a new "Export Geometry Database" tool button in AddModelDialog,
adjacent to "Convert IFC File to Database", to produce a zipped
read-only artifact combining a lossy RDB (with IfcRepresentationItem
stripped) and a .ifcview geometry sidecar. Intended for cloud
coordination workflows where parametric geometry editing is not needed.
Pipeline changes to support this:
- document_serializer_context gains a `skip_supertypes` field; the
rdb plugin forwards it to RocksDbSerializer so the same registry
path produces full or lossy RDBs.
- Vertex quantization helpers (octEncodeNormal + quantizeVertex) move
out of ViewportWindow.cpp into a shared header so the sidecar's
byte layout stays identical regardless of whether it came from a
GPU readback or a CPU pipeline.
- New HeadlessSidecarBuilder runs a GeometryStreamer on the calling
thread, captures MeshChunk/InstanceChunk into a SidecarData on the
CPU, then computes georef + packed elements + LODs and writes the
.ifcview — no ViewportWindow or GL context required.
The Controller's export flow runs RDB conversion + sidecar build +
QZipWriter packaging on a background QThread, writing through
`<dest>.tmp` then renaming for atomic appearance in cloud-sync
folders. ifcviewer-full now links Qt6::CorePrivate for QZipWriter.

Wire the AddModelDialog "Convert IFC File to Database" button to a new
ConvertToDatabase source mode handled by ModelsPanelController, which
prompts for an .ifc input and .rdb output then runs the existing
document_serializer_registry "rdb" plugin on a background QThread with
a modal progress dialog.
Build the src/serializers subdir for BUILD_IFCVIEWER so the rdb plugin
is produced, and align serializer plugin runtime output with the
kernel/mapping plugins by writing them into $<TARGET_FILE_DIR:IfcGeom>
so default plugin discovery finds them in both dev and install layouts.
