ci: migrate from mypy to ty type checker

- Remove mypy from dev dependencies in pyproject.toml
- Update justfile check-typing recipe to use ty
- Update distclean to remove .ty/ instead of .mypy_cache/
- Install ty in main.yml via uv tool install
- Enable type checking step in CI (was disabled for mypy)
- Add py.typed marker file for PEP 561 compliance
- Remove continue-on-error from test steps

ty is Astral's Rust-based type checker which:
- Runs on PyPy (unlike mypy which requires librt/mypyc)
- Is significantly faster than mypy
- Provides cleaner error output

Note: This work was completed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
