Description

#205 adds a simple test script that validates sorting results against previous versions of µsort. However, it only tests this by sorting the µsort codebase itself. We should also include coverage of more and larger codebases, like black, libcst, torch-vision, etc. Maybe prefer to check out these projects from pinned revs, rather than latest versions, for consistency of results.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a script that clones pinned revisions of several Python projects (e.g., black, libcst, torch vision) and runs µsort on them, comparing output to expected results from previous versions. Ensure the script is configurable and can be integrated into CI.
