Quratulain-bilal d023600420 fix(catalogs): validate extension and preset catalog payload shape
`ExtensionCatalog._fetch_single_catalog` and
`PresetCatalog._fetch_single_catalog` only check that the `extensions` /
`presets` key is *present* in the parsed catalog JSON. They don't check
that the value is a JSON object, and they don't check that the root is
a JSON object at all. A malformed (or compromised) upstream catalog
returning:

    {"schema_version": "1.0", "extensions": []}

passes both `"extensions" not in catalog_data` and the subsequent
`response.read()` JSON parse, gets cached on disk, and then crashes
deep inside `_get_merged_extensions` (resp. `_get_merged_packs`) with:

    AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'

instead of the existing user-facing
`ExtensionError("Invalid catalog format from <url>")` /
`PresetError("Invalid preset catalog format")` that the surrounding
code is clearly trying to produce.

The sibling integration-catalog reader already validates this — see
`src/specify_cli/integrations/catalog.py` where the fetch path
explicitly checks both `isinstance(catalog_data, dict)` and
`isinstance(catalog_data.get("integrations"), dict)` before returning.
This change mirrors that pattern in the extension and preset readers so
the three catalog fetchers stay consistent and a malformed upstream
surfaces as the user-facing error instead of a raw Python traceback.

Adds parametrized regression tests covering:
- root payload is not a JSON object (list, str, int, null)
- root is a dict but `extensions` / `presets` value is the wrong type
  (list, str, null, int)

All eight bad-payload shapes now raise the expected catalog error.
