Description

This PR adds local Flashforge Adventurer 5 series local API support for sending prints from OrcaSlicer, with IFS slot assignment on AD5X.

It includes:

local printer discovery on the LAN
support for entering and saving the printer serial number and access code
a Flashforge-specific send dialog with IFS slot selection before upload/print
mapping project materials to the slots currently loaded in the printer
IFS mapping is shown only when the printer reports material station support
uploads use 3MF packaging instead of raw G-code, matching the expected AD5X workflow more closely.

This is focused on local/LAN usage only.
It does not add cloud support or change existing non-Flashforge workflows.
All API access based on https://github.com/Parallel-7/FlashForgeUI-Electron/

Tests

Tested manually by:

building OrcaSlicer on Linux/WSL and Windows
discovering a Flashforge AD5X on the local network
saving host, serial number, and access code in the physical printer settings
opening the Flashforge send dialog from OrcaSlicer
loading IFS slot information from the printer
selecting slots and sending a print job
verifying dark mode behavior and dialog flow on Windows
verified that prints sent to AD5X now show remaining time on the printer display
