build: add cross-platform Makefile for development workflows

[Prasannajaga]

What is this?

Adds a root Makefile to unify standard development and quality check tasks (make check, make test-unit, make lint-check, make type-check, make sync, make lock) into simple, standardized commands.

Why is this needed?

• Speed & Efficiency: Allows developers to run unit tests, lint checks, and type checks in a single command (make check), significantly speeding up local verification cycles.
• Workflow Standardization: Replaces repetitive multi-step tox and uv commands with a single entry point, reducing friction for new and existing contributors across different operating systems.

@jaredoconnell @dbutenhof adding this would greatly improve the dev workflow

Rejecting as this provides no value. Its essentially aliasing tox commands.
