Valentin KleinandClaude Opus 5.5 7666c1cd68 LINE: deferred tangent/perpendicular for the first point (fixes #69) (#168)
TAN and PER snaps need the other end of the line, so the first point of a
LINE (no base point yet) could never snap tangent: a belt line tangent to
two circles was impossible to draw.

Now, as in AutoCAD, a point prompt can accept *deferred* snaps:

- snap: with no base and the new `deferred` flag, osnap offers "Deferred
  Tangent" (circles, arcs) and "Deferred Perpendicular" (circles, arcs,
  lines, xlines, rays) where no other snap wins. The hit carries the curve
  (`SnapHit::deferred`, `Deferred`, `SnapCurve`).
- `resolve_deferred` solves the line once the other end is known: tangent
  or perpendicular from a point, tangent-to-tangent (common tangents of two
  circles, new `Circle::common_tangents` in geom) and the perpendicular
  mixes. Among several solutions the one nearest the picks wins. No
  solution (point inside the circle, concentric or nested circles,
  non-finite input) is `None`, never a panic.
- prompt: `Prompt::deferred()` opts a prompt in; `Input::Deferred` reaches
  only such prompts, everywhere else the session turns it into the point it
  was picked at, so other commands snap as before.
- LINE opts in for its first point (and the next one while the first is
  still deferred). No solution reports and re-prompts; Undo drops the
  deferred point. The rubber band shows the resolved line, also the
  tangent-to-tangent one while hovering the second curve
  (`Session::cursor_deferred`, set by the canvas).
- canvas: passes the prompt's flag to osnap and sends a deferred pick as
  `Input::Deferred`.
