Slice BM Phase 6.3.2 — PropertyEditorRegistry.

Maps an "editor kind" string → factory callable that produces an IPropertyEditor. Process-wide singleton (matches UnitSystem and FileFilterRegistry patterns already used by the GUI).

Concrete editor slices (BN/BO/BP/BQ/BR/BS/BT) call registerFactory() once at startup — typically from a small register_<slice>_editors() free function pulled in by main.cpp. PropertiesPanel consults the registry on every selection change via editorFor(ref, kind). A null factory result means "no concrete editor today" and the legacy property-tree path stays in charge — the registry never replaces existing behaviour silently.

Thread-safety: registration happens at startup; lookup is read-only after that. No mutex.
