feat: set-as-main for .typ/.qmd; fix compiler filter; fix ZIP import compiler

Set as main document (context menu):
- canSetRootDocId used selectedEntityIds so .typ/.qmd files couldn't be
  set as main via right-click on an unselected file.
  Now computed locally from contextMenuEntityId (same pattern as convert)
  using isValidTeXFile which already covers .typ, .qmd, .tex etc.

Compiler filter (editor settings):
- docs?.find(id) could return undefined due to ID format mismatch,
  causing all engines to show as available for non-LaTeX projects.
  Added findInTree fallback so the root doc name is always resolved.

ZIP import compiler:
- Projects created from ZIP always got defaultLatexCompiler ('quarto')
  regardless of content.
- findRootDocFileFromDirectory now also searches for .typ and .qmd root
  files after finding no .tex file.
- ProjectUploadManager now infers the compiler from the root doc
  extension and sets it on the project after import.
