by TruittandClaude Opus 5.5 c87a38546c Default save format for new drawings (DXF or DWG) (#298)
Save As suggested `.dxf` for every untitled drawing, so saving new work as
DWG meant typing the extension each time. AutoCAD keeps this choice in
Options > Open and Save > "Save as".

- File > Default Save Format > DXF / DWG sets the format Save As suggests
  for drawings that have no file yet. Drawings opened from a file keep that
  file's format, as before. DXF stays the default.
- The choice is saved across restarts with the other preferences
  (`saveFormat`), survives Reset Palettes, and is scriptable as
  `ui.saveformat {format}` or the `saveFormat` UiState field.
- Ukrainian labels for the new menu entries.

On macOS the suggested `.dwg` name needs DWG in the Save As filter list
(#198) to survive the dialog.
