amolinari-autotex 19db763899 Tapped Hole: verified metric fine, UNC/UNF and parallel G/Rp catalogues (#4178)
* feat: expand tapped-hole catalogue with metric fine and Unified sizes

* docs: distinguish metric designations from expanded tapped catalogue

* feat: add internal pipe catalogue and checked Rc profile data

* Connect parallel G and Rp catalogues to cylindrical tapped holes

* fix(i18n): register tapped thread catalogue labels

* fix(i18n): complete thread labels in required locales

Metric thread designations

Generated size choices use the shared metric catalogue. Its coarse pitch is omitted from the designation: M8 means diameter 8 mm and coarse pitch 1.25 mm. A fine or custom pitch remains explicit, for example M8x1. Hole catalogue choices and generated Thread size/pitch choices follow the same rule.

This changes generated UI text, not the resolved numerical pitch or geometry. Existing authored designation text, including explicit legacy coarse pitches, is retained when a dialog is merely displayed. Custom and fine designations remain editable. Catalogue dimensions are millimetres regardless of the design's display units.

For ISO metric tapped holes, the existing tap-drill estimate remains nominal diameter minus pitch: M8 gives 6.75 mm, while M8x1 gives 7 mm. Saving and reopening retains the resolved pitch. See the tapped-hole catalogue for the additional metric fine choices and finite UNC/UNF and parallel G/Rp catalogues with their tabulated pilot recommendations. The separate Thread command remains ISO metric only.
