feat: add pytest test suite for 3 Python scripts

Introduces a pytest-based test suite for the three build-helper scripts
in scripts/ that have no network dependencies:

  - Generate_CheatSheets_TOC.py
  - Update_CheatSheets_Index.py
  - Generate_Technologies_JSON.py

Each script is minimally refactored to expose pure helper functions
(to_display_name, parse_index_line, group_by_letter, etc.) and to
wrap its imperative top-level code in a main() function with
parameterized paths. Byte-for-byte output of the original scripts is
preserved when invoked from the scripts/ directory.

The test suite covers 56 cases (unit + integration), including:

  - helper-function unit tests (display names, language detection,
    letter grouping, whitespace cleanup, line parsing)
  - main() integration tests against fixture cheatsheet directories
  - mocked HTTP path for Generate_Technologies_JSON.main()

Files added:
  - pytest.ini, requirements-dev.txt
  - tests/__init__.py, tests/conftest.py
  - tests/test_*.py for the three scripts

The remaining two scripts (Generate_RSS_Feed.py, Identify_Old_Issue_And_PR.py)
and a CI workflow that runs pytest on PRs are deferred to follow-up PRs.

AI assistance: this change was developed with the help of an AI coding
assistant. The refactor, tests, and commit message were reviewed by the
author before submission.
