Description

This PR resolves #9251, part of #10012 and the idea found at https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/discussions/8784.

I have added the 'Change type' menu option to multi-selection of parts within an object and adapted the function to behave appropriately when multiple parts are selected. The changes keep the previous guards against changing the last solid of an object & the menu is dynamically updated to prevent an inappropriate type being set to an SVG or text part.

Screenshots/Recordings/Graphs

Menu Changes:

Opened Dialog:

Setting multiple to Modifier:

Changing last Solid Protection:

Changed options if Text/SVG selected:

Tests

I have tested in build:

all parts of an object
single parts of an object
multiple parts of an object (including & excluding svg/text)
multiple parts of an object which start as different part types
