The dialog threshold field gets a unit selector: % of mean |J|
(default, as before) or absolute A/mm2. The absolute variant applies
at the solved operating point - |J| scales with the test current, so
it is meant to be used with the real operating current entered as the
test current (config comment, README and dialog say so).

Switching units swaps in the other unit config default
(TRIM_THRESHOLD_A_MM2 = 1.0 for absolute) but never clobbers a number
the user typed. Validation stays per unit: 0..100 for %, > 0 for
A/mm2. pipeline.run takes trim_pct/trim_abs (at most one), compute()
mirrors that, and the JSON records threshold_mode + threshold_value
next to the resolved threshold_a_per_mm2.

Suite on dev 3.13 and the Python 3.9 mac-stack venv: 151 passed each;
dialog wiring exercised offscreen (defaults, unit swap, validation).

(selector next to the field): **relative** — % of the mean |J| over
all solved copper (default, 10 %) — or **absolute** in **A/mm²**;
since |J| scales with the test current, the absolute variant is
meant to be used with the real operating current entered as test
current. Polygons land on
