Pull Request Overview
This PR adds Alpine Linux support to the mssql-python library by resolving circular import issues that occurred during module initialization on Alpine's musl-based system. The key change moves driver path resolution from Python to C++ to avoid importing Python helpers during critical initialization phases.
- Implemented C++ driver path resolution to replace Python-based approach
- Added Alpine Linux distribution detection and driver loading support
- Included comprehensive Alpine ARM64 testing pipeline with containerized environment
