feat(editor): add --gen-mesh-sundial garden-timekeeper primitive

55th procedural mesh: 6-box garden sundial — square base
plate at floor, central vertical gnomon slab spanning the
diameter (long axis along Z, the blade that casts a shadow),
and 4 small hour-marker nubs at the cardinal points (N/S/E/W)
around the rim.

Useful for monastery courtyards, mage tower observatories,
druidic stone circles, manor gardens — anywhere a fantasy
world wants visible time-keeping. Defaults to 0.80m square
base with 0.35m gnomon (~0.41m total height).
