feat(quip/gap/xyz): implement to_labeled_system and to_multi_systems methods with file handler support (#888)

Implements export functionality for QUIP/GAP XYZ format with support for
both file paths and file handlers.

## Key Features

- **Single System Export**: `to_labeled_system` writes individual
systems to QUIP/GAP XYZ format
- **Multi-System Export**: `to_multi_systems` yields file handlers for
writing multiple systems to a single file
- **File Handler Support**: Both methods accept file paths or file
handlers as input
- **Smart Write Logic**: Always overwrites for file paths, appends only
when using file handlers

## Implementation Details

The `to_multi_systems` method uses a generator pattern that yields file
handlers instead of filenames, enabling more flexible file management.
The `to_labeled_system` method handles both file paths and file handlers
appropriately, with different write modes for each.

When writing multiple systems to the same file handler, configurations
are written directly adjacent to each other without separator lines,
matching the standard QUIP/GAP XYZ format specification.

## Testing

Comprehensive test suite covers:
- Single system export functionality
- Multi-system export to shared file
- Roundtrip consistency verification
- All existing QUIP/GAP XYZ tests continue to pass (121 tests)

This maintains full backward compatibility while adding the requested
export capabilities.
