Dion Moult 5386c9ec69 ifcviewer: add stage 3+4 data model and compose helpers to Federation
Adds the structs that were briefly in src/ifcviewer/Federation.{h,cpp}
two commits ago, now folded into the merged Federation alongside the
file persistence layer:

  - FederationConfig: federation-wide unit ({prefix, name}).  Default
    METRE; one-of an IfcSIUnit name with optional prefix or an
    IfcConversionBasedUnit name.
  - FederationOrigin: stage 3 — XYZ in federation unit + Z-rot.
    Composes to R_z · T(-xyz_meters), nominating a point as origin.
  - AFrame + ModelTransform: stage 4 intent — A (model project or
    map unit, per a_frame), B and pivot (federation unit), full
    intrinsic-XYZ Euler rotation in degrees.
  - ModelUnits: per-model project_length_to_meters / map_unit_to_meters
    cached at load time.

Free functions composeFederationOrigin and composeModelTransform
return Eigen::Matrix4d in metres.  composeModelTransform takes the
model's stage-2 georef matrix so it can lift `a` into metres when
authored in ModelLocal.

Federation gains config_, origin_ members + setters that emit
dirtyChanged.  Each Model carries a transform_intent.  JSON I/O
emits config / origin always; transform_intent only when non-default.
Schema stays "ifcfed/1" — additive, optional, sane defaults.

Five new tests: round-trip of the new fields, default-omission
behaviour, two compose smoke tests for FederationOrigin, and one
verifying the "pivot at B preserves A→B" invariant of
composeModelTransform.  All 36 ctest cases pass.

IfcOpenShell

IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
