1.0.72: 1.0.72: four more checks from the standard's engine 0.4.0 (EDA Bridge Standard 0.7.0), and a placement review.

- **Engine:** adom-eda-checks 0.4.0, vendored unchanged. Every engine reply now carries the engine's own `engine` field instead of a version written by hand. - **kicad_thermal_vias and kicad_via_fence:** planned by the engine, as all three bridges now do (standard #18). - The via comes from the project's Default net class, and the fence's clearance from the board's largest clearance rule. - KiCad's DRC still runs before any via is placed, live or in the closed file. - **kicad_height_check:** computed by the engine from kicad_bodies; `complete` says whether every part had a body (standard #19). - **kicad_placement_check (new):** a placement review before routing, from the engine with the parts' 3D bodies. - It finds parts whose pads and bodies overlap on one side, parts off the board or over its edge, pads near the edge, and parts on a mounting hole.
