feat(belt/calib): add Overhang temperature-tower model (selectable) (#48)

Belt printers can't slice a tall vertical temperature tower. This adds a
belt-specific temperature-tower model — a row of discrete, individually
engraved provini laid along the belt, each printed at one temperature via
custom per-layer M104. Each provino is an inverted-L overhang that stresses
print quality, so the operator reads the best temperature off overhang
quality rather than a continuous ramp.

It is offered as a "Test model" choice in the temperature calibration dialog
(mirroring the Cornering test's selector), so users keep Joe's counter-rotated
sectioned tower as "Standard" and can pick this one as "Overhang":
- Calib_Params::test_model (existing field) carries the choice.
- Temp_Calibration_Dlg gets a Standard/Overhang radio.
- Plater::calib_temp belt branch: test_model 0 -> _calib_temp_belt_sectioned
  (unchanged Standard path), 1 -> the discrete-provini Overhang path.

Assets: belt_temp_provino_unit.stl + belt_temp_tower_<start>_<end>.stl (6
ranges) + gen_belt_temp_tower.py (manifold engraving). Based on
belt/generic-calibrations. The Overhang path is HW-validated on the IdeaFormer
IR3 V2 (discrete M104 + engraved numbers); not re-validated since the rebase.

"""Belt temperature-tower asset generator (discrete-provini design).
A vertical temperature tower cannot be sliced on a belt printer, so lay a row of
DISCRETE provini (one per temperature) along the belt (designed Y) with a fixed
surface gap. Each provino is the chevron+arc unit (belt_temp_provino_unit.stl,
keel-first); its temperature is ENGRAVED upright into the 50 mm face — a raised
number would be an unsupported overhang on the belt. The C++ calib_temp belt branch
(Plater.cpp) injects one M104 per zone 70 layers INTO provino i:
print_z[i] = i * PITCH * cos(theta) + 70 * layer_height (theta = 45)
inside the body, not in the empty inter-provino gap (which has no sliced layers for
the event to attach to). PITCH below is the shared geometry contract with that code —
keep them in sync.
Generates one STL per filament temp range used by Temp_Calibration_Dlg.
