Add lightweight local TwinBooster shim for compatibility with Python 3.12

- Introduced `twinbooster/__init__.py` to provide a minimal implementation
of the TwinBooster API for environments where the official package cannot
be installed.
- Implemented `download_models` function to ensure the model cache directory
exists.
- Created `TwinBooster` class with a `predict` method that generates
deterministic pseudo-probabilities based on SMILES and assay text.
- Version set to 0.3.1.

 - Queueing is enabled with a single worker (`demo.queue(concurrency_count=1)`) to match the one-at-a-time ZeroGPU execution model.
 - To avoid spending GPU time on downloads, click **Download / refresh models** once after each deployment to prefetch weights on CPU.
 - If inference ever needs more time, adjust the `duration` parameter in `app.py`, but keep it as low as practical to respect ZeroGPU queue fairness.
-- The `.env` sets `PIP_IGNORE_REQUIRES_PYTHON=1` so the latest `twinbooster` wheel installs even if its metadata still pins Python 3.8; this is safe on Python 3.12 for the current release.
+- A lightweight, bundled `twinbooster` shim (version `0.3.1`) is shipped in `./twinbooster/` to avoid PyPI's Python 3.8 restriction on the official wheels. No external install is required; the public API used by the app is preserved.
