feat: add multi-column layout support for PDF extraction and generation

- Enable PyMuPDF sort=True for correct reading order in multi-column PDFs
- Add column detection utilities (_sort_elements_for_reading_order, _detect_columns)
- Preserve extraction order in PDF generation instead of re-sorting by Y position
- Fix StyleInfo field names (font_name, font_size, text_color instead of font, size, color)
- Fix Page.dimensions access (was incorrectly accessing Page.width directly)
- Implement row-by-row reading order (top-to-bottom, left-to-right within each row)

This fixes the issue where multi-column PDFs (e.g., technical data sheets) had
incorrect element ordering, with title appearing at position 12 instead of first.
PyMuPDF's built-in sort=True parameter provides optimal reading order for most
multi-column layouts without requiring custom column detection.

Resolves: Multi-column layout reading order issue reported by user
Affects: Direct track PDF extraction and generation (Task 8)
