New VS Code extensions for pcb and hal

We rebuilt both typeCAD editor extensions, and neither needs a marketplace install anymore: create vendors them straight into the project. Open the project, and the editor experience is already there.

typeCAD/hal — three extensions become one

The typecad-ui, debugger, and intel extensions merged into a single typeCAD/hal extension that typecad-hal create drops into .vscode/extensions/. What it does:

• Diagnostics that match the build exactly — the editor runs the project's own engine in no-emit mode on every save, so the Problems panel can never drift from build output
• Quick-fixes — pin-capability errors offer a swap to the first capable pin; ownership errors get Borrow by reference and Make const fixes
• Hovers and inline fact chips — new ADC(PA0) explains its silicon routes on hover and shows ⌁ PA0 · PWM pwm2 ch1 · ADC adc1 ch0 right on the line
• Flash & Monitor — a ▶ CodeLens on the entry file, ⚡ Run on Hardware on tests, and a serial picker that lists attached USB devices with VID:PID and re-validates your cached port
• .ui language support — highlighting, snippets, and markdown injection for UI files
• F5 native debugging over GDB on probe-equipped boards — the old printf/breakpoint instrumentation is gone, and serial print via USB0.writeLine(...) replaces it everywhere

typeCAD/pcb — the board lives next to the code

typecad-pcb create now bundles the typeCAD/pcb extension into new projects, workspace-scoped:

• Pin hovers — reference, value, footprint, placement, and a per-pad table with nets and connected status, plus a view on board link
• Board viewer panel, five views — Gerber (layers, fab report, DRC markers), PCBA (the assembled-board render), Blueprint (an engineering drawing with dimension lines and a title block), ngspice (traces colored by voltage, parts by power, animated current flow after typecad-pcb simulate), and Copper ΔT (IPC temperature rise across wires, vias, pours, and the FR4 itself)
• Cross-probing both ways — double-click a trace, pad, or component to jump to its source line; hover a component or net and zoom straight to it
• Ambient board state — a status bar with build/DRC counts, a ▶ Build Board CodeLens, and unconnected pads and DRC hits in Problems with show on board quick-fixes
• Stays current — every build re-renders the viewer, and your viewport, layers, and highlights survive
