Add a SiloStartPanel dock widget that shows connection status, local checkouts, recent silo activity, and local recent files. Automatically shown when the Silo workbench is activated. Sections: - Connection status badge (green/gray dot with hostname) - My Checkouts: scans local projects dir for .FCStd files, shows part number and description, double-click to open - Recent Silo Activity: fetches from server, badges items present locally, double-click to open or checkout - Local Recent Files: reads FreeCAD MRU list, double-click to open Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Panel is reused if already open. Closes #5
