fix: remove global constants (#46)

* create julia_helpers.jl

* a helper to convert Julia Awkward array to Python

* type lock to a PrimitiveArray

* fix: use np.asarray

* convert only vectors of uint8

* use np.asarray instead

* check if PyCall is installed

* check PyCall installation

* check for PyCall in Main?

* move the import in

* Update and rename julia_helpers.jl to AwkwardPyCall.jl

* try reexport AwkwardArray

* Update AwkwardPyCall.jl

* test: add tests

* fix: remove global constants

* fix: cleanup

* fix: add PyCall

* fix: revert changes

* fix: add AwkwardArray

* fix: include AwkwardArray

* fix: revert changes
