E.g. previously set_element_value with query "material.item.Material.Name" would fail with error "Material property is expecting an IFC entity and not a string".
But now it will detect that "Material" property is not a last key in the query and will pass `.Material` value forward and try to set it's `.Name` attribute with value.
The main goal is to make sure get_element_value and set_element_value would have a same result for same queries.
After ab5ea4c85 it was always throwing wrong singature errors like below even if TypeError was caused by some internal issues inside API - it was adding couple extra steps to traceback making errors more noisy.
TypeError: Incorrect function arguments provided for library.edit_library
attribute 'VersionDate' for entity 'IFC2X3.IfcLibraryInformation' is expecting value of type 'ENTITY INSTANCE', got 'str'.. You specified args (<ifcopenshell.file.file object at 0x0000027EB8E6BCD0>,) and settings {'library': #1=IfcLibraryInformation('Name','Version',$,$,$), 'attributes': {'Name': 'Name', 'Version': 'Version', 'VersionDate': 'VersionDate', 'Location': 'Location', 'Description': 'Description'}}

Correct signature is (file: ifcopenshell.file.file, library: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance, attributes: dict[str, typing.Any]) -> None
See help(ifcopenshell.api.library.edit_library) for documentation.
Fix LSP warnings like ""entity_instance" is not exported from module "ifcopenshell"PylancereportPrivateImportUsage" for `ifcopenshell.file`, `ifcopenshell.entity_instance` etc.
After adding py.typed in 722201a1a it's now a typed library and all imported symbols in modules are considered private by default and should be added to `__all__` if they are supposed to be generally available from imported module.
