✨ Building Shared Libraries

[burgholzer]

Description

This PR started out with the purpose of switching over to the mqt-core Python package. Over time, the scope has grown quite considerably. Now, the main changes this strives for is switching the library to build dynamic libraries by default. This considerably decreases the binary size and would, in general, be nice to support. However, producing shared libraries also means explicitly managing symbol visibility and, as it turned out, this is not such an easy endeavor. The corresponding changes need appropriate testing across all different projects to make sure that nothing is missed. This directly relates to cda-tum/mqt-core#538.

As already noted in cda-tum/mqt-core#538, getting shared libraries working seems like it is not going to be that easy. Because of that, I am also going to split this PR apart into separate contributions and will try to get those that are ready to merge merged as soon as possible.
