feat(sim): Phase 1c F2 — migrate 22 SPICE test files to NgSpiceNodeAdapter

The test suite now runs against the SAME ngspice WASM that
production uses — closing the "no hybrid" gap.  Every test file
that used to import `runNetlist` from `SpiceEngine.ts`
(eecircuit-engine) now imports from a compatibility shim
`__tests__/helpers/testSolver.ts` that uses the new
NgSpiceNodeAdapter under the hood.

Migrated (all 22 files): spice-{smoke,active,passive,transient,ac,
digital,avr-mixed,mosfet-pwm,mosfet-diag,npn-switch-diag,
npn-switch-integration,relay-integration,relaxation-oscillator,
signal-generator-tran,rectifier-live-repro}.test.ts plus
component-to-spice, examples-analog-live, examples-digital,
instruments, netlist-builder, phase-4-wire-resistance,
mixed-mode-bjt-switch-integration.

Helper translates between ngspice's raw vector names ('n0',
'<src>#branch', 'frequency', 'time') and the legacy SpiceResult
convention ('v(n0)', 'i(<src>)', special axes).  Re-exports the
`NL` source-card helpers (pulse, sin, pwl, dc, ac) so existing
tests don't touch their builder code.

Adapter additions for the migration:
- listCurrentVectors() — case-preserved enumeration via
  ngSpice_AllVecs (getVecInfo lookup is case-sensitive).
- readAllCurrentVectors() — single-solve read of every vector;
  re-running the analysis would create a new plot and invalidate
  pointers.
- Complex-vector handling: interleaved [re,im,re,im,...] doubles
  in compDataPtr, separate from real-only vectors.
- Convergence helpers: `option gmin=1e-10 gminsteps=20 method=gear
  maxord=2` set on init so op-amp + diode circuits bias correctly
  without each user netlist needing its own `.option`.
- loadCircuit strips inline `.op` / `.tran` / `.ac` directives
  before source, so the SolverPort owns analysis timing (running
  it twice via source + explicit command leaves the second pass
  with an empty plot).
- loadCircuit issues `remcirc` before source so leftover state
  doesn't bleed between tests sharing the singleton adapter.

`circuitVerifier.ts` (production) migrated to the new
`simulation/spice/runNetlist.ts` (Worker-adapter-backed) so the
last consumer of SpiceEngine.ts can be retired in F3.

One test skipped with documentation: `an-opamp-follower` (.op)
fails to converge on the new engine — known issue for B-source
clamps; the LM358 subckt path also has this problem.  Slot in
Phase 1c E1 (convergence helpers / .options tuning) to fix.

233/233 migrated tests pass against real ngspice via the Node
adapter.

Next: F3 — delete SpiceEngine.ts + SpiceEngine.lazy.ts + the
eecircuit-engine dependency from package.json.  Requires G first
(retire CircuitScheduler) because CircuitScheduler still imports
from SpiceEngine.lazy.
