Add fuzzer for dbm module

Fuzzes CPython's dbm backend — whichever implementation dbm.open() selects on the build, typically the gdbm C module (Modules/_gdbmmodule.c) or _dbm (Modules/_dbmmodule.c). Opens a fresh GDBM-style database in a temp directory with mode "c", then drives a sequence of up to 20 fuzzed operations — store (with fuzzed-length keys and values), get, key listing via db.keys(), membership-guarded delete, and iteration with value lookup — to exercise the hash-table insert/lookup/delete paths and the on-disk file handling in the C backend.
