feat(entity): implement path_to() method for entity pathfinding

- Add path_to(target_x, target_y) method to UIEntity class
- Uses existing Dijkstra pathfinding implementation from UIGrid
- Returns list of (x, y) coordinate tuples for complete path
- Supports both positional and keyword argument formats
- Proper error handling for out-of-bounds and no-grid scenarios
- Comprehensive test suite covering normal and edge cases

Part of TCOD integration sprint - gives entities immediate pathfinding capabilities.
