fix(python): handle non-native NumPy byte order 🤖🤖🤖 - #30369

Python bindings can read non-native-endian NumPy inputs as native bytes, producing incorrect values or NaN. Mark swapped arrays for the existing cast path before constructing `Mat`; this also rejects incompatible output/in-place destinations before writes.

Closes #30368. Targets 4.x so the common bridge fix can be merged into 5.x.

Validation on macOS ARM64, Python 3.11.11, NumPy 2.4.6:
- Built current 4.x and 5.x. Three regression tests cover 20 dtype/layout/output cases; 18 fail before and all pass after. Read-only inputs and rejected destinations remain unchanged.
- 21 native-input timing cells on 4.x, 101 alternating pairs: fixed/baseline median time 0.957–1.005×, identical results. The 5.x check also stayed within 0.971–1.004×.
- Draft: Linux/hosted CI validation remains pending.
