Manish Bera 2bdf17ee6e Add initial scaffolding for pythonmaker
This commit introduces the 'pythonmaker' executable, a new tool in the
codemaker module.

pythonmaker generates Python type stub files (.pyi) from UNO IDL type
libraries (.rdb files). This enables static type checking and modern
IDE features like auto-completion for developers writing Python scripts for LibreOffice.

This commit includes the complete, feature-complete tool capable of handling all major IDL entity types (enums, constants, typedefs,
structs, exceptions, interfaces, services, and singletons).

Language Code Generators for UNOIDL Entities

Generators for language-binding--specific representations of UNOIDL entities:

  • cppumaker generates header (.hdl and .hpp) files for the C++ UNO language binding
  • javamaker generates class files for the JVM language binding
  • netmaker generates C# code files for the .NET language binding
  • climaker (the old codemaker for .NET Framework) is in module cli_ure
  • pythonmaker generates Python stub (pyi) files for the Python UNO language binding

Some of the code is re-used by the skeletonmakers in module unodevtools.

Note the different terminology used by cppumaker vs. gbuild for the three variants that can be generated by cppumaker for some of the inline functions:

cppumaker switch: -L;    cpputype.cxx: light;          gbuild: normal;
cppumaker switch: none;  cpputype.cxx: normal;         gbuild: bootstrap;
cppumaker switch: -C;    cpputype.cxx: comprehensive;  gbuild: comprehensive;

which can be a source of confusion.
