feat(import_profile): use ReplaceFeatureBuilder for sketch replacement

Replaces naive ReplaceEntity approach with NX's proper
ReplaceFeatureBuilder API. This mirrors the interactive
right-click → Replace Feature workflow:

- SelectFeature: old sketch to replace
- ReplacementFeature: new sketch taking over
- DoAutomaticGeomMatch: auto-maps curves
- DeleteOriginalFeature: removes old after remap
- Fallback: manual delete if builder fails

All downstream features (extrude, trim) automatically
re-reference the new sketch.

Replace all references from old sketch feature to new one, then delete old.
Uses NX Edit > Feature > Replace Feature approach.
Replace old sketch with new one using NX's ReplaceFeatureBuilder.
This mirrors the interactive: right-click sketch → Replace Feature.
All downstream features (extrude, trim, etc.) automatically re-reference
the new sketch. The old sketch is deleted after replacement.
API: NXOpen.Features.ReplaceFeatureBuilder
- SelectFeature → original feature to replace
- ReplacementFeature → new feature that takes over
- DeleteOriginalFeature → True (remove old after remap)
- DoAutomaticGeomMatch → True (auto-match edges/curves)
- AutomatchMap() → run the auto-matching
- Commit() → execute the replacement
