[Feature]: Built-in fairy chess piece glyphs (Amazon, Chancellor, Archbishop) #190

Description

@BilgeGates

What problem does this solve?

Fairy chess composers cannot render positions with non-standard pieces in ChessVision. Pieces like the Amazon, Chancellor, and Archbishop are widely used in fairy problems but have no built-in glyphs — composers must composite piece images manually after export.

Proposed solution

Add built-in SVG glyphs for the most common fairy chess pieces: Amazon, Chancellor, Archbishop, and half-white/half-black knight. Map them to extended FEN characters following YACPDB conventions so positions found via the existing YACPDB database search render accurately.

Context

Sub-issue of #162 — custom and fairy piece sets. Scope: built-in fairy glyphs only; user-uploaded sets are tracked in #191.
