Lama 750dd260c4 Add comprehensive netlist extraction functionality
- Implement schematic netlist parser with S-expression parsing
- Create netlist tools for extraction and connection analysis
- Add resources for netlist and component connection reporting
- Include documentation with usage guide and troubleshooting
- Register new tools and resources in server configuration

This enables extracting component connections from KiCad schematics
and analyzing connectivity between components.
