env.py — TrafficEnv: 4-Way Intersection RL Environment
=======================================================
Meta × PyTorch OpenEnv Hackathon Submission

A production-quality reinforcement learning environment for optimising
traffic signals at a 4-way urban intersection.

Key design principles:
  - Realistic stochastic vehicle dynamics (arrivals, discharge, congestion)
  - Multi-component, shaped reward function
  - Emergency vehicle priority logic
  - Lane-starvation fairness penalty
  - Three difficulty tiers: Easy / Medium / Hard
  - Rich evaluation metrics exposed via info dict
