feat(add-template): make /add-template engine-agnostic (#238)

* feat(add-template): make /add-template engine-agnostic so Typst can register alongside LaTeX

/add-template hardcoded a lualatex|xelatex|pdflatex engine enum and .tex
assumptions, so custom templates could only be LaTeX. Replace the enum with a
declared source extension + compile command, so any toolchain (Typst via
`typst compile`, or others) registers the same way stock LaTeX templates did.

Stock CV/cover-letter pipeline stays LaTeX and untouched (per #181).

Also fixes a latent bug this surfaced: apply.md's compile step ignored the
ACTIVE-TEMPLATE block and always ran lualatex/xelatex on .tex regardless of
the active template, and .gitignore's cv/main_*.tex pattern would not have
ignored a non-.tex draft (personal-data leak). Both now resolve from the
declared extension/command.

* fix(add-template): satisfy security_guards on the .gitignore Typst fix

security_guards.py pins the personal-data ignore rules by exact string and
gates negations through an allowlist, so broadening cv/main_*.tex and
cover_letters/cover_*.tex to *.* (for .typ drafts) needed a matching update
to REQUIRED_IGNORE_RULES.

Also tighten the .gitignore itself per review: keep the re-include
negations at .tex instead of widening them to *.* too. The stock example
files are always LaTeX, so .tex is enough to re-include them, and a
wildcard negation would have also re-included build artifacts
(main_example.pdf/.aux) that should stay ignored. ALLOWED_IGNORE_NEGATIONS
needs no change since the negations are unchanged.

Also adds a CHANGELOG entry under Unreleased for the Typst/custom-template
support.

## [Unreleased]
_Changes landed on `master` since the last release will be listed here._
- **Custom templates: any compile-to-PDF toolchain (Typst, ...)** - `/add-template` no longer
hardcodes a `lualatex`/`xelatex`/`pdflatex` engine enum. Custom templates now declare a
source extension and a full compile command, so Typst (`typst compile`) registers the same
way a custom LaTeX template does. Stock CV/cover letter templates stay LaTeX, unchanged.
