fix: pythonkernel class trying to call non-existent self.post() method attr error

Key Changes:

closes #30

TLDR
Problem: The PythonKernel class was trying to call a non-existent self._post() method during cleanup, causing an AttributeError.

Fix:

Replaced self._post() with aiohttp.ClientSession HTTP calls
Added the missing cleanup_routine() function that was being imported but didn't exist
Result: Fixed both the kernel shutdown error and the import error during challenge cleanup.

Added:

• cleanup_routine() function

Changed:

• self._post() with aiohttp.ClientSession HTTP calls
• replace the entire __aexit__ method body with just await self.shutdown() - removing cleanup dup logic

Generated Summary:

• Replaced the API kernel shutdown call to use an explicit aiohttp ClientSession with proper token handling.
• Modified type casting from KernelState to a string literal "KernelState" to align with type hints.
• Added a new cleanup_routine function to remove exited Docker containers, improving resource management.
