feat: implement name system for finding UI elements (#39/40/41)

- Add 'name' property to UIDrawable base class
- All UI elements (Frame, Caption, Sprite, Grid, Entity) support .name
- Entity delegates name to its sprite member
- Add find(name, scene=None) function for exact match search
- Add findAll(pattern, scene=None) with wildcard support (* matches any sequence)
- Both functions search recursively through Frame children and Grid entities
- Comprehensive test coverage for all functionality

This provides a simple way to find UI elements by name in Python scripts,
supporting both exact matches and wildcard patterns.

### Phase 4: Visibility & Performance (1-2 weeks)
**Goal**: Only render/process what's needed
```
1. #10 - Full visibility system with AABB
- bool visible() - False if outside view or hidden
- bool hidden - internal visibility toggle
- AABB() considers parent offsets recursively
- Non-visible elements can't be clicked
1. #10 - [UNSCHEDULED] Full visibility system with AABB
- Postponed: UIDrawables can exist in multiple collections
- Cannot reliably determine screen position due to multiple render contexts
- Needs architectural solution for parent-child relationships
2. #52 - Grid culling (if not done in Phase 2)
2. #52 - Grid culling (COMPLETED in Phase 2)
3. #39/40/41 - Name system for finding elements
- name="button1" property on all UIDrawables
