Implemented Content Projection support in Release v0.2.0 🎉

The Demo will be updated soon to showcase this functionality. Also, the Roadmap will get some new goals.

[fosfor15]

Added new goals: "Component Tree: Full support for Directives" and "Scoped Graph: Visualization of user-selected Component sub-trees and Module hierarchies"

Added content projection examples in demo applications to showcase new functionality in feat(demo): Add content projections demo

Updated the Roadmap to reflect a more realistic timeline for Stable Release v1.0.0 and added future concepts for Q3-Q4 🚀

Key changes:

• Q1 Realignment: The focus has shifted more to Core Stability, Technical Debt & QA, prioritizing a solid foundation and code quality over shipping new features.
• Release v1.0.0 Strategy: The official v1.0.0 Release is now targeted for Q2. This ensures the stable version will be truly Feature Complete, including full support for the Angular ecosystem (Pipes, Guards, DI) and initial JetBrains support.
• Future Vision for Q3-Q4: Added high-level goals for User Workspace, Debug & Test Modes, and AI Integration to outline the long-term direction of GraphLens.
