Upgrade numpy to fix pkgutil.ImpImporter installation failure on Python 3.12

[mihaitodor]

While trying to install py-ard under Python 3.12, I bumped into numpy/numpy#23808 (see log below). The issue should be resolved in numpy v1.26.0 or newer:

root@ubuntu:~# docker run --rm -it python:3.12 bash
root@e5c91bcda36b:/# python --version
Python 3.12.1
root@e5c91bcda36b:/# python -m pip install py-ard

Thanks for trying on 3.12. The plan is to remove dependency on pandas which will remove dependency on numpy as well.

[mihaitodor]

Sounds like a good idea! Thank you

Closing for now.

Newer numpy is not compatible with Python 3.9.

Created #307 for pandas upgrade.
