packerlschupfer 93c8b3f2b0 CLI: --ground-* orientation from the Lay on Face planes, and --inspect-mesh (#15073)
* CLI: --ground-face-* / --lay-flat / --center-on-bed orientation primitives

Adds the CLI counterparts to the GUI's lay-flat / face-pick gizmos.
Scripted / CI / AI pipelines can now set orientation without rendering
a wxWidgets frame; today the only way is a GUI round-trip.

New CLI actions (all operate in the mesh-local frame so they compose
with prior --rotate-* / --orient flags):

  --ground-largest-face 1     Auto-detect the largest planar-face
   or  --lay-flat 1           cluster (area-weighted), rotate so its
                              normal points -Z. Covers "this part has
                              one obvious flat side" cases.

  --ground-face-normal NX,NY,NZ    Pick the face whose mesh-local
                                   normal best matches the given
                                   vector; ground it. e.g.
                                   `--ground-face-normal 1,0,0`
                                   stands a part on its +X side.

  --ground-face-point X,Y,Z        Find the triangle containing the
                                   given mesh-local point; ground its
                                   face. Disambiguates when several
                                   faces share a normal (largest
                                   containing triangle wins).

  --center-on-bed 1                Translate so the XY bounding-box
                                   centroid lands at the bed center
                                   (derived from printable_area).

New file `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}`:
- collect_triangles_object / compute_face_clusters — quantize
  per-triangle normals (0.001, ~0.06°) and area-weighted-average
  within clusters. Same clustering logic used by lay-flat.
- apply_ground_rotation — same math as Selection::flattening_rotate
  in the GUI (Selection.cpp:1432): world-space quaternion from the
  transformed normal to -Z, applied as offset * new_rot * old_no_offset
  on every instance of every object, then a per-instance Z-lift so the
  grounded face lands at exactly 0 (avoids "No layers were detected"
  from FP-error z≈-1e-9).
- ground_face_point uses a top-N cluster search + point-in-triangle
  test in local space; largest-area triangle wins on ambiguity.

Rationale: without these, any CLI pipeline that needs a specific
face on the bed must either encode custom rotation math per part or
break out of the pipeline into the GUI. Both are bad for
reproducibility. The --ground-face-* triple + the largest-face
auto-mode cover essentially every orientation intent expressible
in a slicing wizard.

Scope:
- `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}` — new, ~420 lines
- `src/slic3r/CMakeLists.txt` — 2-line registration
- `src/libslic3r/PrintConfig.cpp` — 5 new CLIMiscConfigDef entries
- `src/OrcaSlicer.cpp` — 58-line handler block + 1 include

No behaviour change when the flags are absent.

(cherry picked from commit c45a9795e1)

* CLI grounding: choose among the Lay on Face planes, per object

Addresses review:
- Move the geometry of GLGizmoFlatten::update_planes() into
  libslic3r/LayOnFace and use it from the gizmo and the CLI, so the
  --ground-* options pick convex-hull faces per object and instance,
  with part transformations (--rotate-x/y) applied.
- Drop --center-on-bed, the --lay-flat alias and MeshOrient; make
  --ground-largest-face a coBool.
- Parse --ground-face-normal and --ground-face-point strictly. A point
  that only some objects contain grounds those and leaves the others.
- Fold in --inspect-mesh from #14603, reporting the same planes.
- Tests in tests/libslic3r/test_lay_on_face.cpp: bounding boxes before
  and after, rotate then ground, two objects, and a ribbed part whose
  parallel inner faces outsum its base.

* CLI --inspect-mesh, --ground-face-*: reject missing input and empty values

- Without an input file or --load-assemble-list, --inspect-mesh printed
  nothing and exited 0. Reject it up front with CLI_INVALID_PARAMS.
- An explicit empty --ground-face-normal or --ground-face-point was
  silently ignored. Only options given on the command line reach the
  transforms loop, so an empty value now fails the strict parse like any
  other malformed value.

OrcaSlicer tests

Building, running and writing tests is documented on the wiki, under How to Test.

Two files here rather than there, because coding agents only read what is in the repository:

  • AGENTS.md is the same guidance in short form, and is what an agent working under tests/ picks up.
  • CATCH2.md is the Catch2 reference, including the mistakes that break a test at runtime.
