@Soham-1304 some issues with the load in plots. Its visible on the nodes of plots rather than the nodes on the grillage. Also, doesnt seems to be updating for certain loads. Lets discuss tomorrow. |

Summary
This PR adds nodal load visualization for Load Cases and Load Combinations across the plot views and integrates it into the plot toolbar through a dedicated Loads toggle.
Applied loads are computed from the analysis results and rendered as nodal load arrows with force labels in Grillage, SFD, BMD, and Deflection plots. The arrows are drawn above the y=0 line, with the arrowhead anchored at the node and the arrowtail extending upward for clearer visualization.
To support this, Grillage was made an explicit plot-side option alongside Fx, Vy, and Vx. The Loads toolbar toggle now automatically enables Grillage when needed, since load visualization depends on the grillage nodes being present.
The toolbar integration was then aligned with the existing managed toggle workflow, so the Loads button follows the same state handling as the rest of the plot controls.
