Extend HistorianTagMetadata with Description, EngineeringUnit, MinEU/MaxEU

Decoded the GetTagInfoFromName response shape across multiple tag types via
captured raw bytes (sanitized decoder script in scripts/decode-taginfo-bytes.py):

- Compact-ASCII string slot count varies by tag origin: 2 strings for
  MDAS-routed external tags (TagName + MetadataProvider), 4 strings for local
  Sys tags (TagName + Description + ItemName + CreatedBy). Parser now walks
  strings dynamically until the next byte isn't the 0x09 marker.

- Trailing region after the 4-byte fixed block holds (for analog tags) two
  doubles for MinEU/MaxEU plus an optional EngineeringUnit compact ASCII
  string and other fields whose exact positions vary. Parser uses a tolerant
  scan: tries each 8-byte alignment 0..7, picks the first sane (Min ≤ Max,
  finite, not all-zeros, |x| ≤ 1e15) double pair as MinEU/MaxEU, and finds
  the first plausible compact ASCII string (1..32 ASCII bytes, not numeric)
  as EngineeringUnit.

HistorianTagMetadata.Description / EngineeringUnit / MinRaw / MaxRaw nullable
slots already existed; they're now populated. Live verification: SysTimeSec
returns Description="System Time : Seconds", MaxRaw=59.0, EngineeringUnit
="Seconds".

Tests: 109 → 114 (+4 synthetic-fixture parser tests + 1 live integration
test for the populated analog metadata path). Bulk descriptor probe helper
(GetTagInfoRawBytesForProbe) added for future layout work; raw bytes never
committed because they contain CreatedBy DOMAIN\user identity.
