Realistic rack-equipment icons for switches and patch panels

Browse Source

Swapped the abstract mxgraph.networks.switch pictogram and the hand-drawn
patch-panel box for draw.io's built-in Rack shape library -- real 19"
front-panel silhouettes (verified against the actual stencil source on
GitHub, not guessed): mxgraph.rack.general.switches_1 for switches,
...cat5e_rack_mount_patch_panel_24_ports for patch panels.

No stencil library covers FS.com/AFL/Primex/Clearview/FIS (all niche
fiber/telecom brands draw.io doesn't ship icons for), so per user's choice
brand/model accuracy is carried as text instead: every node's caption is
now 'hostname' + the real NetBox device_type.model on a second line, e.g.
'ls-bsls-sw01 / IES3110-8TFP-R'.

Patch panels also lost their hand-built 7-cell composition (body + strip +
6 port-tick cells) now that a real stencil exists -- one cell each,
cell count 530 -> 271.

Fixed a spacing regression this surfaced: the new realistic icons are much
shorter/flatter than the old ones, and COL_W (210) left only ~100px
between adjacent columns -- not enough room for a ~150-180px connector
label, so port/VLAN tags were overlapping neighboring icons. COL_W -> 320.
