Validate the response shape before reading dates.

If a 200 response body is a JSON array, response.json().get("dates") on line 52 raises AttributeError. raise_for_status() does not check the body, so no earlier guard prevents this. If dates is a JSON array, or a JSON string that decodes to an array, dates.get(key) on line 60 raises AttributeError too. In both cases, the parser fails with AttributeError instead of the ValueError used for other malformed data. Check that the top-level payload and dates are mappings, and raise ValueError otherwise.

Review comment at
@uk_bin_collection/uk_bin_collection/councils/CanterburyCityCouncil.py at line
52:
Validate the JSON payload from response.json() and the parsed dates value as
mappings before accessing their fields; raise ValueError for either malformed
shape, preserving the existing handling of missing collection data.
