New Features

• Add a component image generator for resistors, capacitors and inductors @Sebbeben in https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server/pull/1435
• Improved KiCAD API which should massively increase load speeds in KiCAD (after PR #1489)
• Added MCP tools to get attachment contents
• Added MCP tools to create, edit and delete parts, storage locations, categories, footprints, manufacturers and suppliers
• Log the access_method in change logs, to see whether the change was done via WebUI, REST API or MCP
• Log an unique request ID with change logs, so that all changes done in a single request can be easily grouped together
• Show max_input_vars and sqlite enforce fk status in server info page
• Allow to create a new lot at new location via lot move dialog @calebwest-SS in https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server/pull/1500
