Subject: [PATCH] feat(origin): add interactive open/saveAs methods to
 SiloOrigin

Add openDocumentInteractive() and saveDocumentAsInteractive() methods
to support the updated FileOrigin interface from Issue #10/#12.

- openDocumentInteractive: Delegates to Silo_Open command for search dialog
- saveDocumentAsInteractive: Triggers new item creation form for Save As

These methods enable the Std_* commands in FreeCAD to delegate to
SiloOrigin when Silo is the active origin.
