Create a linuxcnc python package #4198

Description

@hdiethelm

Linuxcnc spams the shared python namespace if installed:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/raster.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/preview_helpers.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/propertywindow.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyhal.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyngcgui.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hal.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hal_glib.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hershey.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lineardeltakins.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linux_event.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linuxcnc.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linuxcnc_util.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/multifilebuilder.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/common
...

This has the risk for collisions with other packages and is generally not a good practice.

It would be better to create a lcnc or linuxcnc package.
