Bug Fix: Circular Dependencies with ALAP Constraints Resolved

Fixed an issue where tasks with an As Late As Possible (ALAP) constraint and no constraint date could create an incorrect circular dependency during MPP import. To prevent this, affected tasks are now imported as manually scheduled, avoiding unnecessary dependency calculations that could lead to scheduling cycles.

The same handling has been applied to certain Finish No Earlier Than (FNET) tasks where the constraint date matches the task finish date, preventing similar false circular dependency scenarios.

In addition, summary tasks are no longer affected by importer-added scheduling constraints, ensuring their dates continue to be calculated naturally based on their child tasks.

Also, Cost and Material resources are now excluded during import, so that only Work resources participate in scheduling calculations.
