Release v1.8.0: Enhanced Word Export in Batch Converter

Added enhanced Word export with template support to the batch file converter,
enabling batch conversion of markdown files to professionally-styled DOCX
documents using custom templates.

New Features:
- Added "DOCX (Enhanced)" option to batch converter format selection
- Integrated WordTemplateExporter with batch conversion workflow
- Batch converter now supports template-based Word export with:
  * Custom template preservation
  * Professional table styling (orange headers, white data rows)
  * Perfect ASCII art and flowchart alignment
  * Red-colored arrows in flowcharts
  * Markdown numbering stripped from headings and lists

Technical Changes:
- Modified performBatchConversion() to handle 'docx-enhanced' format
- Async/await pattern for WordTemplateExporter in batch processing
- Proper error handling and progress tracking for enhanced exports
- Updated version to v1.8.0 in package.json, main.js, and README.md
