refactor(elt-common): Improve BaseExtract config typing

[WHTaylor]

Only being able to access configuration fields during the constructor of extract classes without making the type checker unhappy had been bugging me a bit. This PR fixes that, and uses it in the couple of places it was relevant so far.

It still has a bit of a hole because there's nothing actually tying C to config_cls, but I wasn't able to find a way to get that working with our restriction of config_cls being used to instantiate the config. Still, I think this is enough of an improvement to be worth including.

Typed extractor configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
BaseExtract configuration contract elt-common/src/elt_common/extract.py	BaseExtract is generic over a BaseSettings subtype. Its configuration class, constructor, and config property use the typed configuration.
SQL extractor configuration usage elt-common/src/elt_common/sources/sqldatabase/__init__.py, elt-common/tests/unit_tests/test_extract.py	SqlDatabaseExtract uses SqlDatabaseSourceConfig. SQL limits and chunk sizes are read from self.config, and the test checks the public configuration property.
SharePoint extractor configuration usage elt-pipelines/facility_ops/ingest/estates/electricity_sharepoint/electricity_sharepoint.py	Extract uses Configuration and reads glob patterns and backfill mode from self.config instead of cached fields.

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 23312

This PR improves configuration typing without changing expected runtime behavior. Mergeability is generally good, with bounded follow-up needed for a Ruff import warning and the remaining possibility that an incompatible configuration class could bypass static type checking.

Associate config_cls with C.

BaseExtract[C] types __init__ and config as C, but config_cls is only type[BaseSettings]. The factory can therefore pass a different settings class to extract_cls without a checked pairing. Bind config_cls to C, or add a test that rejects mismatched configuration classes.
