Write array elements positions to repository

[GernotMaier]

Move and rename application simtools-write-array-element-positions-to-repository to simtools-maintain-simulation-model-write-array-element-positions.

Refactor and unify writing of ground / utm files.

Note that this has been a bit of an odd application, living lonely in src/simtools/applications/db_development_tools.

Add integration and unit tests.

Pull request overview

This PR refactors and relocates the application for writing array element positions to the model repository. The application is moved from db_development_tools to the main applications directory and renamed to follow the consistent naming pattern for simulation model maintenance tools.

Key changes:

• Refactored ground/UTM position writing logic into a unified function in array_layout_utils.py
• Created new application simtools-maintain-simulation-model-write-array-element-positions with updated argument naming
• Added comprehensive unit and integration tests for both coordinate systems
