cmake: add WITH_CGAL / WITH_VIEWER modes, remove unused Boost

Restructures the CMake build into three clearly separated modes:

  (default)        tests only – Eigen + GTest, no heavy deps
  -DWITH_VIEWER=ON builds viewer lib (libigl / GLFW / GLAD)
  -DWITH_CGAL=ON   builds conformallab_core CLI app;
                   implies WITH_VIEWER automatically

Changes:
- code/CMakeLists.txt: viewer and core targets are now guarded by
  option() flags; GTest / tests target is always built
- code/deps/Cmakelists.txt: CGAL, libigl, glfw, glad are only
  extracted when the corresponding mode is enabled; Eigen always
- Remove Boost (211 MB tarball, 0 usages in the codebase – CGAL 6.x
  does not require Boost for Simple_cartesian / Surface_mesh / basic IO)
- Remove code/src/main.cpp (dead file, not referenced in CMake)

All 16 C++ tests pass in tests-only mode (verified locally).
