Fix Python completion in org-mode source blocks

Previously, `my-python-completions-capf` was failing with JSON parse errors
because the output from `python-shell-completion-get-completions` contained
REPL prompts and control characters mixed with the completion data.

Changes:
- Created custom `ob-python-extras--get-completions` function
- Uses Python's built-in rlcompleter instead of relying on jedi
- Adds explicit output markers (__COMPLETIONS_START__ / __COMPLETIONS_END__)
- Extracts JSON between markers, ignoring prompts and other noise
- Properly escapes single quotes in completion prefix
- Fixed session buffer lookup to use correct buffer name format

Now completions work reliably without errors, using the session's actual
globals() context for accurate, context-aware completions.
