Summary

Resolves #52. Updates the ztools submodule to fix the WorkbenchManipulator timing bug.

Problem

The _ZToolsPartDesignManipulator and ztools commands were registered inside ZToolsWorkbench.Initialize(), which only runs on first workbench activation. If PartDesign activated before ZTools (e.g. when a user's default workbench is not ZTools), the manipulator wasn't installed and ztools buttons (DatumCreator, DatumManager, EnhancedPocket, RotatedLinearPattern) never appeared in PartDesign.

Fix

Moved command imports and manipulator installation from Initialize() to module scope in mods/ztools/ztools/InitGui.py. This ensures they execute when src/Mod/Create/InitGui.py exec()s the file at startup — before any workbench activation.

Initialize() retains the dependent workbench activation, toolbar/menu construction, and other init logic.

Updates ztools to include the manipulator timing fix. Commands and the
PartDesign manipulator are now registered at module scope instead of
during ZToolsWorkbench.Initialize(), ensuring ztools buttons appear in
PartDesign regardless of workbench activation order.
