Add simple-name class lookup and input normalization; extend smoke tests for implicit UI types

[liannacasper]

Motivation

• Improve robustness of runtime class lookup by allowing simple (unqualified) names and string forms like class Foo or trailing .class to resolve to indexed classes.
• Ensure core UI types can be resolved by the playground runtime without requiring explicit imports, and catch regressions with a smoke test.

Description

• Introduced a secondary index SIMPLE_CLASS_INDEX built by buildSimpleClassIndex() that maps simple class names to Class<?> entries.
• Enhanced findClass(String) to normalize input via normalizeClassName(String) and to fall back to SIMPLE_CLASS_INDEX when a fully-qualified lookup in CLASS_INDEX fails.
• Implemented normalizeClassName to trim input and strip leading class and trailing .class tokens.
• Added smoke test smokeCoreUiTypesResolveWithoutExplicitImport() to PlaygroundSmokeHarness and added additional require checks for various Component lookup forms in smokeGeneratedRegistry().

Testing

• Ran the playground unit smoke harness PlaygroundSmokeHarness and the modified smoke tests passed.
• Compiled and ran the project unit test suite including the updated tests, and all executed tests succeeded.
