feat(canvas): alignment guides + snap while dragging nodes

Draw.io / Figma style: while dragging a node, show dashed cyan guide
lines when its edges (left / center / right / top / middle / bottom)
align with another node's, and snap the position to the matched line
within a configurable threshold.

- utils/alignment.ts: pure snap math, returns delta + guide segments.
  Same-size boxes show all aligned guides simultaneously.
- canvas/AlignmentGuides.tsx: SVG overlay locked to the React Flow
  viewport (panned/zoomed correctly).
- hooks/useAlignmentGuides.ts: wires onNodeDrag/onNodeDragStop, applies
  snap via setNodes, listens for Alt to temporarily disable.
- utils/alignmentSettings.ts: localStorage-backed prefs (enabled,
  threshold 2-16px) with a tiny CustomEvent pub-sub so the SettingsPanel
  and the drag hook stay in sync without a global store.
- Sidebar settings panel: toggle + threshold slider.

Multi-selection drag uses the union bounding box. Children with
parentId are skipped for v1 to avoid mixing absolute and parent-relative
coordinates. Hold Alt to escape snap.
