Summary description: Draw structural cross-sections

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


TikZ-Sections is a TikZ-based LaTeX package for drawing structural engineering 
cross-sections. The package provides key-value commands for common cold-formed 
steel, hot-rolled steel, and reinforced-concrete section sketches, including 
channels, zees, RHS/SHS/CHS sections, universal beams and columns, plates, bars, 
and basic reinforced-concrete rectangular and circular sections.

This release prepares the package for distribution on CTAN under the name 
`tikz-sections`. It introduces a clearer public command interface, package-safe 
TikZ loading, improved placement and transformation keys, updated documentation 
and examples, and a more consistent key-value API for structural section 
drawings.
