Draft: [Feat] Add symlinks copies for export

Context

It is sometimes tedious to debug on exports as it requires to go through all these steps :

• Generate a standalone export;
• Compile and run the code;
• Finding then solving the bug (testing to verify it has been solved);
• Then copy the files changes into the export module (often forgetting half of them in the process).

This last step is the one we seek to automate with this MR, as now, the copy_files() and the new copy_folder() function can generate symbolic links instead of actually copying the files.

The ExportNode class now holds a static_folders variable acting as the existing static_files variable but for whole folders.

This MR also adds a function to convert numpy types into c types.

Modified files

• export_utils/init.py : Add the copy_folder() function access and the data conversion functions;
• code_generation.py : Add the copy_folder() function implementation and the symlink argument;
• export_registry.py : Add the static_folder variable in the ExportNode class;
• scheduler_export.py : Now export static files and folders and generate symlinks according to the test_mode argument. If test_mode is set to True, symbolic links will be generated to ease the debug process.
• data_conversion.py : Add the numpy2c converter.

How do you use activate this dev mode with symbolic links for your export? What is the new line?

@axelfarr I don't think we need this function! IMO we should work with Aidge dtype!

Sounds fair, I'll change my code and remove this function
