Subject: [PATCH] CAM: Fix duplicate label issues with toolbits

Addresses problems caused by the "Allow duplicate object labels in one
document" option. Toolbit sub-objects now always get unique labels by
temporarily disabling this option during copy, preventing expression and
property binding errors. Also ensures tool controllers always use the
"TC: " prefix for consistency.

src/Mod/CAM/Path/Tool/shape/models/base.py:
- Temporarily disable DuplicateLabels during shape copy to enforce
unique labels

src/Mod/CAM/Path/Main/Gui/Job.py:
- Add "TC: " prefix to tool controller names when adding from the Job
panel
