docs: document bcf_viewpoint_to_ifc_url() and IfcUrl.to_string()

Browse source 
Update SPECIFICATION.md §6 to clarify the isolate-visibility mapping
(DefaultVisibility=false + Exceptions). Add library usage examples to
README for to_string() and bcf_viewpoint_to_ifc_url().

Serialise a parsed URL back to a string with `.to_string()`:
```python
url = IfcUrl.parse("ifc://example.com/org/repo@heads/main?path=model.ifc")
modified = dataclasses.replace(url, selector="IfcWall", visibility="ghost")
print(modified.to_string())
# ifc://example.com/org/repo@heads/main?path=model.ifc&selector=IfcWall&visibility=ghost
```
Convert a BCF 3.0 REST viewpoint dict to an `ifc://` URL (§6 reverse direction):
```python
from ifcurl.bcf import bcf_viewpoint_to_ifc_url
base = IfcUrl.parse("ifc://example.com/org/repo@heads/main?path=model.ifc")
ifc_url = bcf_viewpoint_to_ifc_url(base, viewpoint_dict)
```
`viewpoint_dict` is a BCF 3.0 REST API viewpoint object (camera, clipping planes,
component selection/visibility). The repo/ref/path context comes from `base`.
Remote repositories are cloned as bare repos to the OS cache directory (`~/.cache/ifcurl/` on Linux) on first use. Mutable refs (`@heads/`, `@HEAD`) trigger a `git fetch`; immutable refs (commit hashes, tags) use the cache as-is.
