Implement model-independent iLogic rules for automatic parameter capture

[Copilot]

This PR implements a comprehensive solution for capturing all model information (parameters, features, operations) from any Inventor model without requiring knowledge of specific parameter names in advance.

Problem Solved

The original issue requested:

"How can I do with ilogic to create a rule that is model independent? When the model is opened and the rule is executed, it will automatically read the operations and parameters for me and start the rule. The idea I have in mind is that the names are stored in an array 1st column operations 2nd column name of the parameter and 3rd value of the parameter. So going through all the rows of the array I can access each parameter without having to use the name given by the user."

Solution Overview

Core Implementation Files:

1. ModelIndependentCapture.iLogicVb - Main rule implementing the exact array structure requested
2. ModelInfoCapture.iLogicVb - Advanced version with filtering, search, and export capabilities
3. ModelCaptureExamples.iLogicVb - Examples demonstrating programmatic access patterns
4. QuickStartExample.iLogicVb - Direct implementation of the user's specific request
5. README_ModelCapture.md - Complete documentation and usage guide

Key Features:

✅ Model Independent: Works with any Part, Assembly, or Drawing without hardcoded parameter names
✅ Exact Array Format: Implements the requested 3-column structure [Operation, Name, Value]
✅ Automatic Capture: Reads all parameters and operations when executed
✅ No Hardcoded Names: Access parameters programmatically without knowing specific names
✅ Error Handling: Graceful handling of read errors and edge cases
✅ Multiple Document Types: Full support for Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings

Usage Example

' Get the model information in the exact format requested
Dim modelArray(,) As String = GetModelInfoArray()

' Loop through all rows to access each parameter without using hardcoded names
For i As Integer = 1 To modelArray.GetLength(0) - 1
    Dim operation As String = modelArray(i, 0)    ' 1st column: operations
    Dim paramName As String = modelArray(i, 1)    ' 2nd column: name of parameter  
    Dim paramValue As String = modelArray(i, 2)   ' 3rd column: value of parameter
    
    ' Access each parameter without using the name given by the user!
    If operation = "Parameter" Then
        ' Process parameter programmatically
        MessageBox.Show($"Found: {paramName} = {paramValue}")
    End If
Next

Integration

The solution follows existing code patterns in the repository and integrates seamlessly with the Helper Rules collection. It uses the same VB.NET conventions and error handling approaches as other rules in the codebase.

Fixes #8.
