What is the goal of this PR?

We replace the direct implementation of the client side of the TypeDB protocol in Python with native calls to the Rust client over FFI.

merge TypeDBClient and ClusterClient into single Client, following the protocol merge;
remove Remote variants of Concepts; Concept API calls now require a Transaction to be provided;
make Value "generic" over its value type, which allows us to collapse all the Attribute.<Type>s into a single Attribute class;
associate each top-level class (Client, Session, Concept, etc.) with its native representation on the Rust side;
replace Python method implementations with calls using the native representation over FFI.

Trivial Change

Code

[x] Packages, classes, and methods have a single domain of responsibility.
[x] Packages, classes, and methods are grouped into cohesive and consistent domain model.
[x] The code is canonical and the minimum required to achieve the goal.
[x] Modules, libraries, and APIs are easy to use, robust (foolproof and not errorprone), and tested.
[x] Logic and naming has clear narrative that communicates the accurate intent and responsibility of each module (e.g. method, class, etc.).
[x] The code is algorithmically efficient and scalable for the whole application.

Architecture

[x] Any required refactoring is completed, and the architecture does not introduce technical debt incidentally.
[x] Any required build and release automations are updated and/or implemented.
[x] Any new components follows a consistent style with respect to the pre-existing codebase.
[x] The architecture intuitively reflects the application domain, and is easy to understand.
[x] The architecture has a well-defined hierarchy of encapsulated components.
[x] The architecture is extensible and scalable.
