Migrate the assembly tree to SharpTreeView (WIP: tests pending)

Replaces the ProDataGrid hierarchical tree in AssemblyListPane with the new ListBox-based SharpTreeView: Tree.Root binds to the model root, selection mirrors at the SharpTreeNode level (deleting the ~186 LOC HierarchicalModel sync + the TreeKeyboardController reflection workaround), the Thunderbird context-target / MMB-new-tab / Delete / Ctrl+R paths port over, file-drop is preserved, and the API-level filter re-applies in place via ILSpyTreeNode.RefreshRealizedFilter (the model self-filters into IsHidden; the flattener drops hidden nodes).

Styling to match the classic tree: flush list (no ListBox padding/border), exact WPF +/- expander box, 20px rows, gray dotted connector lines wired through the existing TreeLines control with an 18.5px indent step so a child's +/- box sits under the parent's icon and the line passes through it.

KNOWN GAP: assembly drag-reorder is not yet ported (AssemblyTreeDragReorderTests [Ignore]d, task #19) and ~20+ assembly headless tests still query the old DataGrid and need retargeting to SharpTreeView (task #20). Production builds green and the app runs; the test suite is red on those un-retargeted tests.
