Paths could be reshaped after drawing since #865, but the number of
anchors could not change. Two new engine commands do that, and two tools
in the Pen flyout drive them on the canvas.
- photocraft_vector::edit::add_anchor splits the segment at t with de
Casteljau, so a curve keeps its shape and gets a smooth anchor; a
straight segment gets a corner on the line. delete_anchor joins the
neighbours keeping their handles, drops an emptied subpath and refuses
to remove a path's only anchor.
- path.addAnchor / path.deleteAnchor take the same targets as the other
point edits (work path, saved path by name, shape layer path, vector
mask) and record one history step each.
- Tool::AddAnchorPoint / DeleteAnchorPoint join the P group after the Pen.
They act on Direct Selection's paths, highlight the segment or anchor
under the pointer, show a +/- cursor badge, swap with Alt and turn into
Direct Selection with Cmd/Ctrl. An edit clears a Direct Selection on the
same path so it never points at a shifted anchor.
- Icons derived from Lucide pen-tool (ATTRIBUTION.md), hints and tool
names in all 16 catalogs, README tool list, roadmap.

* Direct Selection tool: reshape paths after they're drawn (#790)
Adds Photoshop's Direct Selection tool (A, in the Path Selection flyout) and
the Pen's Cmd/Ctrl (Direct Selection) and Alt (Convert Point) modifiers. It
selects and drags anchors, direction handles and segments of the work path,
the active shape layer's path and a targeted vector mask.
The geometry lives in photocraft_vector::edit; new engine commands
path.moveAnchors, path.moveHandle, path.bendSegment and path.convertPoint
apply it (one history step per drag, drivable over MCP and the control
channel), and the canvas previews a drag with the same code.

* Tool::ALL holds 49 tools now that Direct Selection and Magnetic Lasso both landed
