feat: Enhanced PlantUML validation with dual-method checking

Now validates using two methods for better error detection:
1. plantuml -syntax: Fast check with line numbers
2. plantuml -tsvg: Render check that catches errors via stderr
   and embedded error indicators in SVG output

Also extracts error line numbers from rendered SVG when available.

Note: PlantUML only catches syntax errors, not semantic issues
(e.g., nesting rectangles in components produces valid syntax
but incorrect rendering).
