Dries Peeters f9b9dbfddc feat: Add extra goods export support to invoice PDFs
Implement comprehensive support for exporting extra goods (products,
services, materials, licenses) in invoice PDF documents. Extra goods
now appear in the invoice items table alongside time-based billing
entries with rich formatting including name, description, SKU codes,
and category labels.

Changes:
- Enhanced InvoicePDFGenerator._generate_items_rows() to include extra
  goods with detailed formatting (name, description, SKU, category)
- Updated pdf_default.html template to render extra goods loop in the
  invoice items table with conditional display of optional fields
- Enhanced InvoicePDFGeneratorFallback._build_items_table() for
  ReportLab compatibility with multi-line descriptions
- Added 6 comprehensive tests covering both WeasyPrint and ReportLab
  generators (unit tests and smoke tests)
- Created complete feature documentation in
  docs/INVOICE_EXTRA_GOODS_PDF_EXPORT.md

Technical Details:
- Extra goods display quantity, unit price, and total amount
- Automatic inclusion in invoice totals via existing calculate_totals()
- No database migrations required (extra_goods table already exists)
- Backward compatible - invoices without goods unchanged
- Supports both primary (WeasyPrint) and fallback (ReportLab) generators

Testing:
- 6 new tests added to tests/test_invoices.py
- 3 tests pass on Windows (ReportLab fallback)
- 3 tests require WeasyPrint system dependencies (Linux/Docker)
- All code changes validated with no linter errors

Files Modified:
- app/utils/pdf_generator.py
- app/templates/invoices/pdf_default.html
- app/utils/pdf_generator_fallback.py
- tests/test_invoices.py

Files Created:
- docs/INVOICE_EXTRA_GOODS_PDF_EXPORT.md
- INVOICE_GOODS_EXPORT_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
