C3D-0358 · READ-ONLY: text-orientation dim vars on 168.1' and 122.0' (handles 21C7B, 21C55) [C3D-DIMREAD] done

Reads Dimtih/Dimtoh/Dimtmove/Dimjust, TextRotation and TextPosition, and the extension/dim-line points on the two target dimensions, plus their dim style's defaults, so the text-along-the-line change is made with the right override flags rather than guessed.

C# payload

// READ-ONLY. The text-orientation dim vars on the two target dimensions, plus every
// AlignedDimension's DimText handle map so we target exactly the right objects.
var handles = new string[] { "21C7B", "21C55" };   // 168.1' and 122.0'
