Barrel contacts for vias/THT pads; configurable cap-drill threshold
Build PCM package / build (push) Successful in 13s

- Selected vias and through-hole pads inject at the drill-wall ring on
  every spanned layer (both contact models), not the whole pad face,
  so the pad/pour spreading resistance is part of the result. Vias are
  now selectable as contacts.
- Soldered THT joints: the hole is modeled solder-filled (core in
  parallel with the plating, also for stitching THT barrels) and the
  pad face carries an average-thickness solder coat over the modeled
  copper (SOLDER_THICKNESS_UM).
- Vias with drills above a configurable threshold (dialog field,
  default CAP_MAX_DRILL_MM = 0.5) keep open mouths even with capping
  selected - the fab caps only small vias.
- Geometry dump schema v6: electrode barrel fields, cap_max_drill_nm.
- Verified against R = rho/(pi t)*acosh(d/2a) for two circular contacts
  on a sheet (+2.6% at h = 0.15 mm, a = 1 mm; uniform model above the
  equipotential one as required by the contact bracket).
