fix(python): address PR #4084 review feedback

- server.py: drop unused log_swallowed_exception import / _LOGGER (caught

  by pylint W0611, surfaced via Codacy UnusedCode finding)

- server.py: extend host whitelist to IPv6 "::" so Studio URL is rewritten

  to localhost when bound on either IPv4 or IPv6 all-interfaces address

- server.py: document default-host change in ArcadeDBServer.__init__

  docstring (no CHANGELOG.md exists in this repo)

- test_server.py: drop _config private-state assertion; rely on the

  publicly-observable get_studio_url() composition instead

- test-python-bindings.yml: SHA-pin actions/setup-python to match the

  rest of the workflow's pinning convention; pin bandit==1.9.4 for

  reproducible scans
