docs: Layout2D index semantics, CLI table, CLI roadmap (U9+U10+U11)

U9 (layout.hpp + example_layout.cpp)
  Layout2D.uv and .halfedge_uv now have explicit Doxygen docs stating:
    - indexing: v.idx() / h.idx() (raw integer index)
    - length: mesh.number_of_vertices() / number_of_halfedges()
    - precondition: no vertex removal / collect_garbage() after loading
    - access pattern example in the doc comment
  example_layout.cpp: access site comment + static_cast<size_t>(v.idx())

U10 (getting-started.md)
  New 'CLI parameter reference' table (7 rows) added directly below the
  CLI usage examples; cross-references --help as the canonical source

U11 (doc/roadmap/phases.md)
  New Phase 9h 'CLI usability extensions' section inserted before Phase 10:
    9h.1  --tol / --max-iter solver-tuning params  (~30 min, no deps)
    9h.2  -g cp_euclidean / -g inversive_distance  (~2-4 h, needs 9a ✅)
  Each sub-task has effort estimate, implementation sketch, and
  acceptance criteria so a future session can pick it up cold.

+         Following the existing run_euclidean() pattern (~60 lines each).
+         Add both geometry strings to the CLI::IsMember validator.
