Feature/data manipulation distinction

[mfiaudrin-epsyl]

This feature add :

• Distinction between visual changes and data manipulations
• Allow the user to select interpolation method in data manipulation

IMPORTANT
Since this feature is needed to continue #74 implementation, I need to merge it in priority in order to not be blocked.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a clearer separation between visual customization and data manipulation for plotted grids, and adds support for selecting an interpolation method when data is interpolated (needed for follow-up work in PR #74).

Changes:

• Split the customization entrypoint into two actions: Data manipulation vs Visual customization.
• Add interpolation-method discovery (/info/data_manipulation_methods) and propagate interpolated_method through plot state and fetch paths.
• Update plotting/customization flows (downsampling, range restore, error bands, metadata fetch) to respect the selected interpolation method.

frontend/src/renderer/utils/fetchData.ts	Adds interpolation method plumbing and new API call for manipulation methods.
frontend/src/renderer/types/plot.ts	Adds interpolated_method to plot state types and removes duplicate downsampling fields.
frontend/src/renderer/types/data.ts	Adds interpolated_method to plot response typing and introduces manipulation-method response types.
frontend/src/renderer/types/configuration.ts	Changes customizedGridLayout from an id to {id,type} to support the split customization modes.
frontend/src/renderer/pages/visualization/VisualizationMetaData.tsx	Fetches metadata coordinates using the currently selected interpolation method and dependencies.
frontend/src/renderer/pages/visualization/DataplotCustomization.tsx	Renders different accordions based on customization type and propagates interpolated_method.

Thx @mfiaudrin-epsyl. The menu splitting works and the icons are explicit. I'm merging this and expect that the data manipulation functionalities and issues will be addressed in #73

Note that while testing I faced initially an issue while synchronizing two plots: the synchronization was somehow one way only, meaning that the sync icon was present on a single plot, when I was moving the slider from this plot the second plot without icon was also moving, but when I was moving the second plot's slider the first plot stayed still. I can not reproduce this after testing develop and again the PR, so no action but something that we should monitor later.
