feat(python): linetypes and layouts (doc.linetypes, doc.layouts)

TableOperation gains simple-linetype create/modify/rename/delete (standard names
taken, rename follows layers and entities, guarded delete) and paper-space
layout create/rename/delete/set-current/set-page (default page setup and sheet
viewport, the application's own layout switch, Model protected). CTAB now reports
the current layout. Real-IPC audit with DWG/DXF persistence and undo, IPC and
Python unit tests, docs.

+(switching layout is not one), a refusal raises `RuntimeError` and changes
+nothing. A linetype pattern is signed lengths (positive dash, negative gap, zero
+dot; 2-12 elements with a gap and a dash or dot); text and shape linetypes can be
+read (`complex`) but not created or edited. `Continuous`, `ByLayer` and `ByBlock`
+are never changed, names of standard linetypes are taken, renaming updates the
+layers and entities that use it, and a linetype used by a layer, entity, dimension
+style or the current setting is never deleted. Layouts: `Model` cannot be created,
+renamed or deleted; deleting the current layout falls back to `Model`; a
+case-only rename is refused. `set_page` takes the sheet in millimetres, a rotation
+of 0/90/180/270 and a custom scale `(numerator, denominator)`, and updates the
+layout limits. Layout operations act on the active document. Records list
+`current`, `tab_order`, `entity_count`, `viewport_count`, `paper_size`, `rotation`
+and `scale`. Reordering layouts and plot devices or styles are not available yet.
