Add a proper way to switch between views

[agarny]

Fixes #365.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new left-side view switcher to replace the in-view “standard/interactive” toggle and standardizes Vue defineEmits typings across several components, aligning the UI more closely with the “switch views” requirement from #365.

Changes:

• Add ViewSwitcherComponent and integrate it into the main content layout for per-file view selection.
• Remove the Simulation Experiment standard/interactive toggle UI and associated switchView emits/styles.
• Migrate multiple components to the object/tuple form of typed defineEmits, and bump package versions.

• categoriesWithViews currently lists all registered views for a category, even when they don’t apply to the current file. This can surface non-functional options in the switcher (and can leave the content area empty if a non-applicable view is selected). Filter the descriptors by fileTypes and isAvailable for the provided file.

  for (const category of Object.values(ViewCategory)) {
    const views = viewRegistry.descriptors(category);

    if (views.length > 0) {
      res.push([category, views]);
