FEAT: Build process for Mac Support

[bewithgaurav]

This pull request introduces improvements to the Python library detection process, updates dependency handling for macOS dynamic libraries, enhances security in connection string sanitization, and refactors the setup.py file to use a different module for wheel building.

Python library detection improvements:

• mssql_python/pybind/CMakeLists.txt: Added logic to handle cases where PYTHON_LIB_DIR is not set or is empty on Windows, using Python's sysconfig to locate the library directory. Additionally, support for a custom environment variable CUSTOM_PYTHON_LIB_DIR was added to override the library directory.

Dependency handling updates for macOS:

• mssql_python/pybind/configure_dylibs.sh: Updated install_name_tool commands to use @loader_path for dynamic library paths, ensuring better portability. Added commands to set library IDs explicitly using @loader_path.

Security enhancement in connection string sanitization:

• mssql_python/pybind/ddbc_bindings_mac.cpp: Improved the SanitizeConnectionString function to perform case-insensitive removal of sensitive parameters (UID and Pwd) by converting the string to lowercase for comparison.

Refactor in wheel building:

• setup.py: Changed the import from setuptools.command.bdist_wheel to wheel.bdist_wheel for building platform-specific wheels.

Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances macOS support by improving dynamic library path handling in the shell script and simplifies dependency management in the wheel build process.

• Updated library path handling in configure_dylibs.sh to use @loader_path for dynamic linking and set library IDs.
• Updated setup.py to import bdist_wheel directly from the wheel package.
