refactor: comprehensive server-response-first pattern implementation

## Major Changes

### LayerProps ID Required
- Made `LayerProps.id` required (was optional)
- All layers now guaranteed to have server-provided UUID
- Enables reliable layer ID mapping from server responses

### useSelectPosition Hook Refactored
- Added reusable `handleApiOperation` helper function
- Refactored `itemUpdatePosition`, `itemUpdateParent`, `linkItem`
- All functions now use server response + layer ID mapping
- Consistent error handling and toast management

### itemFunctions.ts Complete Refactor
- **submitNewItem**: Server response with layer mapping
- **linkItem**: Server response preserves layer object
- **unlinkItem**: Same pattern as linkItem
- **handleDelete**: Simplified error handling
- **onUpdateItem**: Complex function refactored for both update/create branches

### Benefits
- ✅ Eliminates race conditions from manual state construction
- ✅ Server response as single source of truth for all updates
- ✅ Consistent error handling across all API operations
- ✅ Items no longer disappear from map after updates
- ✅ Type-safe layer ID mapping

### Testing
- Updated ItemFunctions.spec.tsx with new toast patterns
- Added required layer IDs to test objects
- All 19 tests passing (3 skipped)
- ESLint clean
