fix(glb): 175/175 material substitution via _AFN suffix stripping

OCC's RWGltf_CafWriter appends _AF0/_AF1 assembly-instance suffixes to
mesh object names when a part appears multiple times in an assembly.
The material matching in export_gltf.py only stripped Blender's .001
suffix, leaving 24/175 GLB objects without materials.

Fix: strip _AFN suffixes via while loop (handles nested _AF0_AF1),
add prefix fallback (longest key wins) as last resort before no-match.

Also improve build_materials_from_excel Jaccard matching:
- Strip _AFN and numeric hash suffixes (-21227) before tokenizing
- Add prefix-based fallback (step 3) before position fallback (step 4)
- Raise threshold 0.3 → 0.35 for better precision
- Guard prefix matches to len >= 5 to prevent trivial false positives

Result: Material substitution: 175/175 mesh objects assigned (was 151/175)
