While the C++ standard suggests const int x as the preferred standard, there are a number of reasons to prefer int const x.

This PR changes the clang-format to use "east const" style.

What changed in this PR

This PR adopts east-const formatting (T const rather than const T) across DirectXMesh library implementations, utilities, and Meshconvert. The changes preserve existing types and behavior.

Changes:

• Sets clang-format’s QualifierAlignment to Right.
• Repositions const in declarations, parameters, return types, and casts throughout the affected C++ files.
