v1.2.0: improved CI and alignemtn with the eUDIW reference implementation

[peppelinux]

This pull request introduces several important updates to align the project with the EU Digital Identity Wallet reference implementation, improve CI workflows, and enhance compatibility and documentation. The main changes include adding explicit references and alignment with the EU Digital Identity Wallet pyMDOC-CBOR project, updating the continuous integration (CI) workflows to avoid redundant runs, expanding Python version support, and clarifying licensing and project metadata.

Alignment with EU Digital Identity Wallet pyMDOC-CBOR:

• Added comments to source files (e.g., exceptions.py, mdoc/issuer.py, mdoc/issuersigned.py, mdoc/verifier.py, mso/issuer.py, mso/verifier.py, tools.py, x509.py) indicating alignment with the EU Digital Identity Wallet pyMDOC-CBOR implementation. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
• Updated the README.md and added a NOTICE file to clarify project alignment, licensing, and attribution to the European Commission and the reference implementation. [1] [2]

Continuous Integration (CI) Improvements:

• Introduced a skip-check job in GitHub Actions workflows (python-app.yml, code-quality.yml, dependency-security.yml) to prevent duplicate workflow runs on the same branch, reducing unnecessary CI usage. Downstream jobs now depend on this check. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated CI jobs to only run if no other workflow is already running for the same branch. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Compatibility and Dependency Updates:

• Added support for Python 3.13 and 3.14 in the CI matrix.
• Changed dependency installation in the security workflow to use pip install -e . for editable installs, ensuring local changes are included in checks.

Code and Exception Handling Improvements:

• Enhanced MsoVerifier to support CBOR tag 18 objects (COSE_Sign1) as input, improving compatibility with reference implementations.
• Improved exception assertion in the test for MsoVerifier to be more robust to error message changes.

Documentation and Metadata:

• Updated project URLs and metadata in setup.py to reference the correct repository and the EU Digital Identity Wallet reference.
• Bumped the project version to 1.2.0 in __init__.py.
