feat(p1): CLI extensions + quality measures + stereographic layout

Implement Phase-Session P1 quick wins (4 independent additions):

9h.1: Add --tol and --max-iter CLI options to conformallab_core
  - Newton solver tolerance [default 1e-8]
  - Newton iteration limit [default 200]
  - Thread both through run_euclidean / run_spherical / run_hyper_ideal
  - Update CLI parameter table in documentation

9h.2: Add -g cp_euclidean and -g inversive_distance geometry routes
  - run_cp_euclidean() & run_inversive_distance() pipelines (~60 lines each)
  - Face-based DOF assignment for CP-Euclidean
  - Vertex-based DOF assignment for Inversive-Distance
  - Both integrated into CLI geometry validator (IsMember)

9g.1: Create conformal_quality.hpp with validation measures
  - IsothermicityMeasure: metric anisotropy (conformality deviation)
  - DiscreteConformalEquivalenceMeasure: length-cross-ratio residuals
  - FlippedTriangles: detects inverted/degenerate triangles
  - LengthCrossRatio: discrete conformal invariant computation
  - ConvergenceUtility: aggregated convergence statistics (max/mean/sum)
  - Ported from Java: plugin/visualizer + convergence utilities
  - Includes sanity tests validating finite outputs on valid layouts

9d.3: Create stereographic_layout.hpp for S² → ℂ projection
  - Stereographic projection from north pole: S² → ℂ ∪ {∞}
  - Inverse projection: ℂ → S² for round-trip validation
  - Möbius centring: centres the 2-D point cloud at origin
  - stereographic_layout(Layout3D) -> Layout2D conversion
  - Round-trip tests: south pole, equator, random sphere points
  - Tests: projection/inverse consistency, north pole handling

Test results: 336/336 CGAL tests pass (272 pre-existing + 64 new from all phases)
- conformal_quality.cpp: 13 new tests (measures, isothermic, dce, convergence)
- stereographic_layout.cpp: 10 new tests (projection, inverse, round-trip, layout)
