Move the G-code processing result instead of copying it

GCodeProcessorResult declares a copy assignment, which suppresses the implicit
move assignment, so `*result = std::move(processor.extract_result())` binds to
the copy and duplicates the whole moves array: 96 bytes per move, measured at
147.7 MiB in one allocation for a 597k facet model at 0.08 mm, with the source
staying alive until the export returns.

Add the move assignment. It assigns exactly the same 39 members in the same
order as the copy, including the ones the copy deliberately leaves alone, so a
target that carries its own filament maps and nozzle type keeps them. A move
constructor is intentionally not added: the type holds a std::mutex, so it is
neither copy nor move constructible today and a partial one would leave ten
members uninitialised.

reset() now releases the two print sized vectors rather than clearing them. Its
callers are the paths that discard a result, so the memory went back only at the
next slice.

ViewerImpl::reset() does the same for the two vectors sized by the print, which
is what keeps a discarded preview resident, and counts m_vertices_colors in the
reported CPU memory, where it was missing.
