[FEATURE] Publish free-threaded (no-GIL) CPython 3.14 wheels (cp314t)

[oberstet]

Follow-up to #124 (Part 2) — the zlmdb mirror of autobahn-python #1875 Part 2. #124
fixed the GIL cp314 wheel (the aarch64 slot was accidentally shipping cp314t), added a
reserved cpy314t env spec (cpython-3.14t), a create-recipe PATH fix, and a
build-time ABI guard (_check-venv-abi). This issue tracks intentionally building and
publishing free-threaded cp314t wheels as a deliberate, supported variant.

Scope

Publish cp314-cp314t wheels alongside the GIL cp314 wheels on all platforms
(Linux x86_64 / aarch64 manylinux, macOS arm64, Windows amd64).

Prerequisite: free-threading safety (do NOT skip)

Building a cp314t wheel merely declares free-threading support; it does not make the
extension safe. zlmdb wraps LMDB via the py-lmdb CFFI wrapper, so before publishing
cp314t as supported:

• Assess the LMDB CFFI layer for free-threading (no-GIL) safety — LMDB transaction/cursor
  thread-affinity rules, the py-lmdb wrapper's shared state, and any implicit GIL
  assumptions in the CFFI glue.
• Add the free-threaded module declaration so the interpreter does not silently re-enable
  the GIL on import (CPython's Py_mod_gil / the CFFI equivalent). Confirm
  sys._is_gil_enabled() stays False after importing zlmdb.
• Decide and document the support level (experimental vs supported). Given LMDB's strict
  threading model, experimental is the likely honest starting point.

Tasks

• Add cpy314t to the build matrix (ENVS / the wheels workflows). The _get-spec
  mapping cpy314t -> cpython-3.14t is already in place from [FEATURE] Publish CPython 3.14 wheels for both free-threaded (no-GIL) and regular (GIL) builds on all platforms #124, and _check-venv-abi
  already validates the ABI.
• Build cp314t on all four platforms; publish alongside cp314.
• Add cpy314t-<platform>-<arch> targets to the check-release-fileset targets in
  release.yml (the shared action supports the 314t token via wamp-cicd use txaio.time_ns and txaio.perf_counter_ns #11).
• Update docs/releases.rst wheel matrix and note the free-threading support level.
