Arcs are now full constraint participants (center/radius via the existing
Circle-shaped solver path, plus real endpoints kept consistent by arc-rules
CurveValue constraints); adds Diameter/DistanceX/DistanceY/ArcLength/Normal
constraint kinds and initial Ellipse entity support (center-based
constraints only). DWG-native class mappings and gaps (ArcLength, Ellipse)
are grounded against real ObjectARX headers rather than guessed, so files
saved with DWG-native constraints stay honest about what AutoCAD can
actually represent.
Also fixes a case-sensitivity bug where a lowercase named-parameter
reference typed at a dimensional constraint's value prompt was rejected
(the command line uppercases SingleToken input before the parameter-name
lookup), and adds a "Used by" column to the Named Parameters panel.

**TEXTFILL marked the drawing modified.** It is an application preference —
it lives in a process global and is snapshotted into settings.json — but it
was missing from the list of names that persist, so setting it dirtied the
open drawing instead and never reached the settings file through that path.
**LTSCALE and CELTSCALE validated differently depending on the door.** The
standalone commands reject a value of zero or less, because a non-positive
linetype scale degenerates every dash pattern in the drawing. `SETVAR LTSCALE
-5` accepted it. A test drives both entry points for both variables and fails
on the SETVAR path without the fix.
**ISAVEBAK, SAVETIME and FILEASSOC were missing from the autocomplete
registry** although all three dispatch, so the command line never offered
them.
**`bg_color` and `paper_bg_color` were dead fields**, always written as `None`
and ignored on load since the model-space configuration superseded them.
Removing them is safe: the config is `#[serde(default)]` and ignores unknown
keys, so existing settings files simply stop carrying them.
One thing the survey flagged that turned out not to be a bug: on the Display
page the model background row hides itself outside Custom mode while the
paper and desk rows do not. That asymmetry is correct — the canvas mode
governs only the model background, and the other two apply in every mode.
