aiongg bb8a6a23fa INDD: open .indd files through indd-utils
InDesign documents and templates (.indd, .indt) open through File › Open,
drop, the web inbox, file.open, file.openBytes, file.openIdml and the CLI.
The engine converts them to IDML in memory with indd-utils
(github.com/aiongg/indd-utils, rev 9cf456d, MIT OR Apache-2.0, no
dependencies, builds for wasm) and imports the result through the existing
IDML path. The converter's warnings come first in the open result's
`warnings`. A file the converter can't read is an open error ("can't
convert the InDesign file: ..."), shown in the Can't Open the File alert.

Routing: a path or name ending in .indd/.indt, or bytes starting with the
INDD signature (the web inbox passes the name without its extension).
opens_as_document and the desktop and web Open dialogs list indd/indt.

Tests use synthetic bytes only: signature-bearing junk, a zero-filled
.indd and a short .indt all fail as open errors with no document added;
a dropped unreadable .indd raises the open alert.
