New function : biconnected planar

[Mohit242-bit]

This PR adds one new function named pgr_makeBiconnectedPlanar to pgrouting:

• pgr_makeBiconnectedPlanar: Returns the set of edges needed to make each connected component of a planar graph biconnected.

This is a final merge PR containing commits from several different PRs combined.

Walkthrough

The PR adds the experimental pgr_makeBiconnectedPlanar function. It processes planar graph components, exposes PostgreSQL bindings, adds validation coverage, and updates Planar documentation and release metadata.

Changes

Planar biconnected graph support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Biconnected planar graph algorithm include/c_common/enums.h, include/planar/makeBiconnectedPlanar.hpp	Adds the BICONNECTEDPLANAR operation and processes planar components independently.
PostgreSQL function integration src/planar/..., src/coloring/coloring_driver.cpp, src/cpp_common/utilities.cpp, sql/planar/..., sql/sigs/pgrouting--4.1.sig	Adds the set-returning C function, SQL wrappers, signatures, build entries, and dispatch support.
Function and behavior validation docqueries/planar/..., pgtap/planar/makeBiconnectedPlanar/...	Adds SQL examples and version-gated tests for types, edge cases, inner-query behavior, and no-crash execution.
Planar documentation and release metadata doc/planar/..., doc/src/..., doc/_static/page_history.js, NEWS.md	Adds Planar documentation and updates navigation, images, version history, release notes, and NEWS entries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7a388

The new graph function can return incorrect or incomplete edge results for some inputs, while the current edge-case tests may not detect that the output is truly biconnected. The documentation build also references a missing query asset, so merge should wait for these correctness and documentation issues to be fixed.

Poem

I’m a rabbit who checks every planar line,
New edges appear in a sorted design.
Tests cover paths, components, and more,
Docs map the function from page to core.
Biconnected graphs now hop through the door!
