Add PyZX to Qrisp's pass manager #772

Description

@purva-thakre

After #771 has been resolved, we want to expose PyZX's circuit optimization as a pass in the pass manager. This would let users run ZX-calculus based optimization on their Qrisp circuits as part of a pass pipeline.

The pass should convert the Qrisp circuit to PyZX, run PyZX's optimization routines, then convert back. Follow the same pattern as the existing passes. Make sure the docs are updated too. Tests should cover that the optimized circuit is functionally equivalent and that it errors gracefully when PyZX is not installed. Use pytest-coverage to verify your function is properly covered by unit tests.

Note that PyZX has quite a lot of optimization rules available. It might be worth discussing which rules are worth implementing before you begin working on adding them.
