feat: add CsaHeader.from_dicom() convenience method

[ZviBaratz]

Summary

Implements issue #16 by adding a CsaHeader.from_dicom() convenience method for extracting CSA headers directly from DICOM datasets without requiring knowledge of exact DICOM tag numbers.

Features

• Automatic CSA header location: Uses DICOM private tag protocol to find CSA headers
• Dual header support: Supports both 'image' and 'series' CSA header types
• User-friendly API: Case-insensitive csa_type parameter, returns None gracefully when headers not present
• Type-safe: Proper type hints using Literal['image', 'series'] for IDE autocomplete
• Well-documented: Comprehensive docstring with examples and nibabel attribution

Implementation Details

Core Changes

• Added CsaHeader.from_dicom(dcm_data, csa_type='image') classmethod
• Added CsaHeader.CSA_TAGS class constant mapping header types to DICOM tags
• Added CsaHeader._extract_csa_bytes() private helper method
• Implementation inspired by nibabel's get_csa_header() function

Testing

• Created comprehensive test suite: tests/test_dicom_integration.py
• 19 new tests covering all functionality
• Overall coverage: 96% (maintained >95% target)
• header.py coverage: 99%

Documentation

• Updated README.md with:
  • Quickstart examples using from_dicom()
  • New "Related Projects" section acknowledging nibabel and PyDICOM
  • Enhanced "Integration with NiBabel" section
• Updated CHANGELOG.md with feature announcement and acknowledgments
• Added comprehensive docstring with usage examples

Build Configuration

• Added pydicom>=2.2.0 to lint environment for proper type checking

Usage Example

import pydicom
from csa_header import CsaHeader

# Load DICOM file
dcm = pydicom.dcmread('siemens_scan.dcm')

# Extract CSA headers easily (new method!)
csa_image = CsaHeader.from_dicom(dcm, 'image')
csa_series = CsaHeader.from_dicom(dcm, 'series')

if csa_series:
    csa_dict = csa_series.read()
    print(f"Found {len(csa_dict)} CSA tags")

Quality Metrics

• ✅ Tests: 200 passed, 4 skipped
• ✅ Coverage: 96% overall
• ✅ Linting: All checks passed (ruff, black)
• ✅ Type checking: All checks passed (mypy)

Attribution

• Feature suggested by @matthew-brett in Utility to fetch CSA headers from DICOM? #16
• Implementation inspired by nibabel's get_csa_header() approach
• Standard attribution level to nibabel in docstrings and documentation

Breaking Changes

None - this is a new feature that doesn't affect existing functionality.
