RHOAIENG-11216: Add script to automate the creation of a new Python-based image from an existing one

[caponetto]

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHOAIENG-11216

Description

Adding a Python script that generates a new folder structure for a Python-based project by copying an existing one and updating Python version references. It performs the following steps:

1. Copy Folder: Duplicates the specified folder structure.
2. Update Python Versions: Replaces occurrences of the source Python version with the target version throughout the folder.
3. Update Lock Files: Executes pipenv lock to regenerate lock files based on the new Python version.

If pipenv lock encounters errors, manual intervention is required to resolve compatibility issues between dependencies. Review the errors reported by pipenv and adjust the dependencies as needed.

See the README file for examples.

How Has This Been Tested?

Manual executions, comparing the results with #659.

Merge criteria:

• The commits are squashed in a cohesive manner and have meaningful messages.
• Testing instructions have been added in the PR body (for PRs involving changes that are not immediately obvious).
• The developer has manually tested the changes and verified that the changes work

I put some comments, but LGTM in general!

@jiridanek Please let me know when you finish with the review.

Guess I'm done. My main complaint is probably that there's huge amount of comments even for things that are fairly obvious. Hopefully if you switch to using python type annotations, you'd feel less need to comment every parameter of a 3 line function, where it's equally easy to read the implementation body as to read the comment.

I would not be offended if you decide to keep the comments, but please remove the comment from main(), that's way too much ;P

[jiridanek]

Added comments about two aspects of type hints

• List, tuple, dict are parametric types, you can specify "list of what"
• When a function does not return anything, give it -> None: type annotation
