This adds a c library bindings to dnadesign. Work in progress. Addresses #80

Tradeoffs tradeoffs...

cffi is a very simple system for getting these functions integrated with python. However, no guarantees around typing - meaning I gotta go implement the classes from scratch. However, I think I like this approach more than the approach of using gopy because there is way less going on underneath-the-hood.

Basically, I want to get the minimally viable output python library out as quickly as I can. I think this is going to be just a Fasta parser, with continuous integration and testing (now with python too! Whew!)

Ok, thought a little more about this. Here is what I want:

• fasta parsing + writing packaged as a C library
• python with mypy + black + coverage (plus pytest)
• pytest testing of the functions to show they actually work
• automatic packaging and releasing of python package
• sphinx documentation

This is a lot of just continuous development stuff, which honestly is exactly what it is. I think easy interfacing REALLY matters here. So long as I can package it well, and know how the packaging works, we can slowly integrate functionality from the overall library. What matters here is that it works and we have a platform we can get the rest of the code on.

Alright, now we got a package!

Let's gooooo!

Still need the automated CI/CD, but confirmed we can upload to pypi which is huge!

Ok, I don't have automatic documentation, but I think this is sufficient for a release, especially to try out what it looks like to publish to pypi, and if that actually works.
