Add hierarchy-aware connectivity via kicad-cli netlist export
validate_schematic now exports a netlist via kicad-cli to traverse the
full sheet hierarchy for connectivity analysis, replacing the single-file
kicad-sch-api approach that returned zeros on hierarchical projects.
Unconnected pins derived from ERC pin_not_connected count.

Agreed on the plan. Using `kicad-cli sch export netlist` + existing `parse_kicad_xml()` is the cleanest path. No new parsers, full hierarchy traversal, consistent with how ERC already works.
We'll use the workaround (omit `baseline`) in the meantime. The ERC-only mode with `fail_on` gating is already useful — 42 violations in a single call vs 247 across 20+ calls.
Please proceed with the implementation. We'll test on our project as soon as it ships.
