C3D-0284 · 260714 Huckaby: locate the VICINITY MAP label on each layout done

READ-ONLY. Finds the VICINITY MAP label, title block extents, and any existing raster or OLE frame on every layout, to place the vicinity map correctly and avoid stacking a duplicate.

C# payload

// Where does the vicinity map go? Find the "VICINITY MAP" label and the title block on every
// layout, plus any raster already attached (idempotency check).
