Implement comprehensive find and replace API for renaming signals across schematics. Supports literal strings and regex patterns with scope-based targeting. Features: - Literal string replacement in labels, components, properties, or all - Regex pattern replacement with capture groups - Validation preventing invalid component references - Dry-run mode for previewing changes - Detailed replacement results with element tracking This enables users to refactor signal naming patterns programmatically without manual KiCAD editing. Fixes #163 - Add find_and_replace() method to Schematic class - Comprehensive input validation and error handling - 18 unit tests covering all functionality - Support for case-sensitive matching - Duplicate reference detection
