Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Fix database installation path from die/db/db to die/db

## Problem
The database was incorrectly installed at die/db/db/ due to CMake
install directive using DESTINATION die/db for the db directory,
which created a double-nested structure.

## Changes
- CMakeLists.txt: Fixed database installation path
  - Changed DESTINATION die/db to DESTINATION die for db and db_custom
  - Added ICU DLL installation patterns for Windows

- __init__.py: Added _DatabasePath class for backward compatibility
  - Automatically detects old (die/db/db) vs new (die/db) structure
  - Handles both old and new usage patterns with deprecation warning
  - Provides seamless transition for existing code

- Tests: Updated to work with both old and new database paths
  - test_die.py: Added comprehensive database path tests
  - test_regression.py: Updated to use corrected database path

- README.md: Updated usage examples
  - Changed database_path/'db' to database_path (new recommended usage)
  - Updated database path examples to show correct die/db/ structure

## Impact
- Fixes database installation to correct location: die/db/
- Maintains backward compatibility with old code using database_path / "db"
- Users can upgrade without breaking existing code

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Prevent die_library from installing duplicate db
 directory

die_library's CMakeLists.txt on Windows installs the database to
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/db (site-packages/db), while die-python's
CMakeLists.txt correctly installs it to die/db. This caused:
1. Duplicate database installation (wasted ~6.5MB)
2. Incorrect db location in site-packages root

Added install(CODE) workaround in python/CMakeLists.txt to remove the
incorrectly installed db directory before our correct installation.

- Wheel size reduced from 18.50MB to 12.01MB (~30% reduction)
- Database only installed in correct location: die/db/
- No duplicate database directories

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Remove files incorrectly installed by die_library

die_library's CMakeLists.txt installs several files to incorrect locations
that should not be included in the Python wheel:

1. db/ directory - installed to site-packages/db, should only be in die/db
2. die.lib - installed to root directory, should only be in die/die.lib
3. include/die.h - C++ headers not needed in Python wheel package

This commit uses a loop-based install(CODE) approach to remove these files
during the installation process, keeping the wheel package clean and minimal.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Fix _DatabasePath attribute initialization

When path operations like / operator create new _DatabasePath instances,
they may bypass __new__ in some Python versions, causing _resolved_path_str
to not be initialized. This triggers AttributeError when _get_resolved_str()
tries to access the missing attribute.

Solution: Use getattr() with a default value in _get_resolved_str() to
handle cases where __new__ wasn't called, making the code robust across
different Python versions and pathlib implementations.

Changes:
- Use getattr(self, '_resolved_path_str', None) instead of direct access
- Keep __truediv__ simple - only handle business logic
- Remove redundant comments that just repeat what the code says

Fixes AttributeError: '_DatabasePath' object has no attribute '_resolved_path_str'
