Pull request overview

Adds a new Python wrapper around libdedx using ctypes, supported by a new shared-library build target and CI coverage for the Python smoke tests.

Changes:

• Introduce a pure-Python ctypes binding (python/libdedx.py) plus type stubs and pytest smoke tests.
• Update CMake to build/install both static and shared dedx libraries (shared needed for dynamic consumers like Python).
• Add/extend CI and dev-environment configuration for running Python tests, and adjust install smoke test runtime environment.
