Add Female MountedPcbModule support with examples and tests

[rushabhcodes]

This pull request adds support for rendering female pin headers in the MountedPCBModule component, allowing for more accurate 3D visualization of modules with female connectors. The changes introduce a new female prop to control rendering and update related logic and tests to reflect this capability.

Female header rendering support:

• Added a female prop to the MountedPCBModule component and updated its logic to render FemaleHeader components instead of standard pins when female is true. (lib/MountedPcbModule.tsx, [1] [2] [3]
• Modified the board offset calculation to account for female headers, ensuring the board sits correctly on the z-axis when pins are omitted or female headers are used. (lib/MountedPcbModule.tsx, lib/MountedPcbModule.tsxL124-R128)
• Updated the Footprinter3d component to pass the female property from the footprint JSON, enabling automated rendering of female headers based on footprint data. (lib/Footprinter3d.tsx, lib/Footprinter3d.tsxR377)

FemaleHeader component improvements:

• Added an optional z prop to FemaleHeader and updated all geometry calculations to use this value, allowing for flexible placement of female headers in 3D space. (lib/FemaleHeader.tsx, [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Integrated FemaleHeader into the module rendering logic and example usage. (lib/MountedPcbModule.tsx, [1]; examples/mountedPcbModule-female.example.tsx, [2]

Testing:

• Added a new snapshot test to verify that a module with female headers is rendered correctly and sits at z=0. (tests/snapshots/mountedpcbmodule-female.test.ts, tests/snapshots/mountedpcbmodule-female.test.tsR1-R9)
