Summary by Sourcery

Enable static library builds with metadata support and enhance Nuitka-Python compatibility by disabling shared libraries, adjusting compiler/linker behavior, and updating packaging tags, plus introduce Pylint CI workflow.

New Features:

• Add Pylint GitHub Actions workflow for code analysis.

Enhancements:

• Switch build_ext to create static libraries and emit .link.json metadata while copying .lib files.
• Disable shared library builds for Nuitka-Python and integrate extra_midargs support in linking routines.
• Adapt Unix and MSVC compilers to use sysconfig toolchain settings, normalize SOABI tags, and configure MSVC to use the /MT runtime.

CI:

• Add .github/workflows/pylint.yml to run Pylint on all Python files.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors build and link processes to default to static libraries with metadata output, disable shared library support, adjust compiler configurations for Nuitka-Python, improve library resolution, and introduce a Pylint CI workflow.
