Ryan Malloy 89c0481ccc Add MVP grid maze router and DSN->SES routing pipeline
Implements a working autorouter and the Java-free replacement for the
freerouting.jar step: dsn_text -> parse_dsn -> build_board -> route ->
write_ses.

GridRouter is a single-layer A* maze search over a uniform occupancy
grid: a cell is blocked by another net's pad (inflated by clearance +
half trace width) or a keepout; each net's ratsnest is connected pin to
pin; a routed trace then blocks other nets. The cell path becomes a
trace polyline whose endpoints are the exact pin locations. Board-unit
paths are converted back to DSN units for the SES (wire (path ...))
scopes.

This is an MVP, not a port of FreeRouting's expansion-room maze:
free-space rooms, rip-up-and-retry, multi-layer via search, and shove
are deferred (they raise quality/coverage, not the connectivity
milestone). It reaches connectivity on boards whose nets route on one
layer without crossing.

Adds tests/dsn/fixtures/simple_2net.dsn (a guaranteed-routable 2-net
board). Invariant tests: both nets route, the emitted SES parses, every
trace stays on a valid layer and within the board outline, and every
routed net's trace endpoints sit exactly on its two pads. An oracle-gated
test asserts connectivity parity with the reference FreeRouting JAR on
the simple board.

DSN test fixtures

Hand-crafted minimal Specctra DSN files, written to exercise the parser. They are modeled on the real fixtures shipped in the upstream FreeRouting repo (fixtures/empty_board.dsn and fixtures/SMD-routing-issue-demo.dsn) so the grammar and formatting match what kicad-cli pcb export specctra-dsn and FreeRouting itself produce, but they were typed fresh here (no upstream file is copied into this tree).

  • empty_board.dsn — the smallest valid board: parser, resolution, unit, and a structure with two signal layers and a pcb boundary path. Modeled on FreeRouting fixtures/empty_board.dsn.
  • smd_demo.dsn — a fuller board exercising every scope the parser handles: quoted board/padstack/image names, via, default rule (width + clearance with a (type smd_smd) pair), a keepout, padstacks (rect and circle pads), images with pins, placement with front/rotation, nets with Comp-Pin references, and a class with circuit/use_via and a rule. Modeled on FreeRouting fixtures/SMD-routing-issue-demo.dsn.
