FIX: Row Object support (#75)

This pull request introduces several enhancements to the database
interaction logic and improves the testing framework for SQL data types.
The most significant changes include adding support for named tuples in
`fetchone` results, improving error handling in the C++ bindings, and
refactoring test cases for better cleanup and assertion practices.

### Enhancements to `fetchone` functionality:
*
[`mssql_python/cursor.py`](diffhunk://#diff-deceea46ae01082ce8400e14fa02f4b7585afb7b5ed9885338b66494f5f38280L651-R689):
Modified the `fetchone` method to return a named tuple when valid field
names are available, enabling attribute-based access to query results.
Falls back to a regular tuple if named tuple creation fails.
*
[`mssql_python/cursor.py`](diffhunk://#diff-deceea46ae01082ce8400e14fa02f4b7585afb7b5ed9885338b66494f5f38280R9):
Added `collections` import to support named tuple creation.

### Improvements to C++ bindings:
*
[`mssql_python/pybind/ddbc_bindings.cpp`](diffhunk://#diff-dde2297345718ec449a14e7dff91b7bb2342b008ecc071f562233646d71144a1L1810-R1852):
Updated `FetchOne_wrap` to handle named tuples on the Python side, added
error handling for column count retrieval, and improved logging for
debugging.

### Refactoring and cleanup in test cases:
*
[`tests/test_004_cursor.py`](diffhunk://#diff-82594712308ff34afa8b067af67db231e9a1372ef474da3db121e14e4d418f69R370-R372):
Refactored multiple test cases to use the `drop_table_if_exists` helper
function for cleanup, ensuring tables are dropped before and after
tests.

Replaced direct tuple comparisons in assertions with the
`compare_row_value` helper function for improved readability and
flexibility.

### Debugging and logging enhancements:
*
[`main.py`](diffhunk://#diff-b10564ab7d2c520cdd0243874879fb0a782862c3c902ab535faabe57d5a505e1L6-R32):
Added debug statements to print the type and content of rows, and safely
handle cases where `rows` is `None`.
