feat: C++20 modules support

[wdconinc]

This PR adds C++20 modules support (see also AIDASoft/podio#907). This mainly involved two things:

• TU-local entities should be removed from headers (since they have internal linkage and we want external linkage), which in this case means moving from static constexpr to inline constexpr,
• CMake needs support to install the right files, when SIO_ENABLE_CXX_MODULES=ON (and CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=20 or newer).

Pull request overview

This PR adds C++20 modules support to the SIO library, enabling modern C++ module-based compilation when SIO_ENABLE_CXX_MODULES=ON and using C++20 or newer. The implementation focuses on two main areas: converting translation-unit-local entities to have external linkage by changing from static constexpr to inline constexpr, and adding CMake infrastructure to build and install module interface files.

• Changed constant definitions from static constexpr to inline constexpr for C++20 module compatibility
• Added CMake module support with compiler/version/generator checks
• Created module interface file (sio_module.ixx) to export SIO types and APIs
