feat(rithmomachia): add helpful error messages for failed captures

When a capture attempt fails because no mathematical relation works, show a
detailed error dialog explaining why each relation type can't be used. This
helps players understand the mathematical requirements for captures.

Changes to relationEngine.ts:
- Updated all relation check functions to return explanation messages on failure
- EQUAL: Shows actual values and why they don't match
- MULTIPLE/DIVISOR: Shows attempted division result
- SUM/DIFF/PRODUCT/RATIO: Shows what helper value is needed

Changes to RithmomachiaGame.tsx:
- Added CaptureErrorDialog component for displaying capture failures
- Shows red error dialog when availableRelations.length === 0
- Lists all relations and specific explanations for why each failed
- Includes Close button to dismiss the dialog

Example error messages:
- "9 ≠ 12 (values are not equal)"
- "9 does not divide 12 evenly (12÷9=1.33...)"
- "Helper 3 doesn't satisfy sum (need 3 but got 3)"
- "SUM: No friendly piece can serve as helper"
