python: drop the NumPy runtime dependency (zero third-party deps) (#317)

Browse Source

Makes the Python binding truly dependency-free (Task 5b). `pip install wickra` now pulls **zero** third-party packages, and `import wickra` never imports NumPy (verified: `"numpy" not in sys.modules` after a batch call).

## What changed
- **Inputs** accept any sequence or buffer of numbers — `array.array`, `memoryview`, a NumPy `ndarray`, or a plain `list` — via `Vec` extraction (newtypes `Buf1`/`BufI64`). `PyBuffer` is unavailable under `abi3-py39`, and `unsafe_code = forbid` rules out a zero-copy slice, so inputs are copied once (negligible vs. compute).
- **Single-output `batch(...)`** returns a stdlib `array.array('d')` (native buffer protocol → `numpy.asarray` zero-copy).
- **Multi-output `batch(...)`** returns a buffer-protocol `Matrix` preserving `.shape`, integer-row and `[i, j]` access, and `.tolist()`.
- **NumPy** moves to an optional extra (`pip install wickra[numpy]`); it is never required.
- Streaming `update(...)` is unchanged; results are numerically identical.

## Implementation
- Trait `IntoPyData` + a `matrix()`/`f64_array()` helper collapse the ~400 batch call sites; `array.array` is built via `bytemuck` (Zlib/MIT/Apache — `cargo deny check licenses` ok).
- Tests migrated to `array.array`/`Matrix` (1-D `.shape`→`len()`, `.dtype`→`.typecode`; numeric comparisons normalize through a `_to_np` helper). The non-contiguous-input test now asserts acceptance instead of rejection.

## Verification (local)
- `pytest bindings/python/tests` — **1991 passed**.
- `cargo fmt --all`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`, `cargo test --workspace --all-features`, `cargo deny check licenses` — all green.

**BREAKING for Python**: batch return types change from NumPy arrays to `array.array`/`Matrix`. Documented in CHANGELOG; ships with the data-layer release bundle (no separate tag).
