Petru Conduraru c8f29bb843 serializers: handle point/vertex-only representations
Addresses aothms's review comment on PR #8759: "I think serializers
will also need to be adapted. OBJ, Collada, etc."

Adds a proper "points" primitive to IfcGeom::Representation::
Triangulation (points_/points_item_ids_/points_material_ids_,
addPoint()), alongside the existing faces_/edges_, for vertices that
stand alone as a representation item (Vertex/Point/PointCloud, see
#134/#1409/#5218) rather than belonging to a face or edge.
points_material_ids_ is a separate array from the shared
faces+edges material_ids_, not folded into it: material_ids_ is a
single running sequence consumed in strict per-item emission order by
every writer below, and interleaving points into it would desync that
sequence whenever an item with points is triangulated before/after an
item with edges in the same file.

- WaveFrontOBJSerializer: emits "p" records for these points (the only
  way OBJ marks a vertex as a rendered primitive in its own right).
  Previously these vertices were written as bare "v" lines with no
  primitive referencing them at all.
- GltfSerializer: adds a POINTS (mode 0) primitive branch. Also fixes
  a latent bug: write() unconditionally returned early when
  material_ids() was empty, which is exactly the case for point-only
  geometry, silently dropping the whole node/mesh; and the later
  material-id iteration would have incremented an already-at-end
  iterator (UB) had that early return not caught it first.
- ColladaSerializer: COLLADA's schema has no points primitive (only
  lines/polygons/triangles), so there is nothing to write beyond the
  raw position source; logs a warning instead of silently producing an
  empty-but-successful mesh.
- IfcGeomWrapper.i: exposes points()/points_item_ids()/
  points_material_ids() (plus *_buffer variants) symmetrically with
  the existing edges_item_ids() etc.

Ported onto a clean v0.8.0 base (the original prototype was built on
top of Dion Moult's experimental ifcviewer-wgpu branch, PR #8759).
Fixes two build-time mismatches against that base's API: the logger
header is ifcparse/IfcLogger.h here, and Logger only exposes a
capitalized Warning(code_prefix, code_number, message, instance)
method, not a lowercase warning(); and material name sanitization is
IfcUtil::sanitate_material_name(), matching every other call site in
this file, not ifcopenshell::sanitate_material_name().

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.
