Add a template system that lets users create new items from pre-configured .kc template files and save existing documents as reusable templates. Template use (New Item form): - templates.py: discovery, filtering, TemplateInfo dataclass - schema_form.py: template combo picker filtered by type/category - silo_commands.py: SiloSync.create_document_from_template() copies template .kc, strips identity, stamps Silo properties Template creation (Save as Template): - SaveAsTemplateDialog: captures name, description, item types, categories, author, and tags - Silo_SaveAsTemplate command: copies doc, strips Silo identity, injects silo/template.json, optionally uploads to Silo - Registered in Silo menu via InitGui.py Template search paths (3-tier, later shadows earlier by name): 1. mods/silo/freecad/templates/ (system) 2. ~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Templates/ (personal, sister to Macro/) 3. ~/projects/templates/ (org-shared)
