Gorgious56 5b79cefee2 Fix #8138: door/window container assignment no-op
Spatial.get_root_element walks aggregate / nest / filled-void /
voided-element chains and core.assign_container assigns the container
to whatever the walk returns. For an IfcDoor the filled-void hop
redirects to the IfcOpeningElement, then voided-element to the host
wall, so a user who selects a door and runs bim.assign_container ends
up targeting the wall — and silently no-ops on the door if the wall is
already in the target storey.

Per IFC4 / IFC4.3 (IfcDoor, IfcWindow): the spatial containment of a
filling is defined independently of the filling relationship. Major
exporters (Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, Allplan) emit independent
ContainedInStructure on doors / windows accordingly. Drop the
filled-void / voided-element hops from the walk; aggregate and nest
remain — those are true sub-part relationships where the parent
legitimately owns the container.

New TestGetRootElement in test/tool pins the new contract (filling
resolves to itself) plus the retained aggregate / nest / loose-element
paths so a future PR that re-adds either hop is caught. Two new
TestAssignContainer cases in test/core pin filling-to-self through the
core layer and per-element can_contain filtering.
