🐛 Hide from_public from TOC

[Zethson]

Fixes #134

Things I Tried That Didn't Work:

1. __getattr__ on the Class: This only works for instance attributes, not class methods like from_public. It didn't intercept class-level method calls.

2. Metaclass Solution: Adding a custom metaclass (BioRecordMeta) caused conflicts with existing metaclasses used by Django models, resulting in a "metaclass conflict" error.

3. Removing the Docstring (__doc__ = None): While this removed the method's documentation, from_public still showed up in Sphinx's table of contents (TOC) since the method itself was still present.

4. __dir__ Override: Hiding the method via __dir__ didn't prevent Sphinx from listing from_public because Sphinx relies on more than just dir() for introspection.

5. Sphinx Event Hook: Registering the autodoc-skip-member event handler required access to conf.py.

What Finally Worked:

• Using __init_subclass__: This method was overridden to dynamically add the from_public method to each subclass only when Sphinx was not running. This ensures that from_public is available for backward compatibility at runtime but hidden from Sphinx documentation.
