Update Python version requirements and installation instructions

Update Python version requirements and installation instructions in README and pyproject.toml

Thanks for working through the legacy Kwik dependencies! I think it would be simplest if phy[kwik] provided one fully working Kwik setup, including reclustering, rather than having different NumPy requirements for different parts of the GUI.

Since reclustering requires numpy<1.24, could we put numpy>=1.23,<1.24 in the kwik extra and document that the legacy Kwik GUI requires Python 3.10 or 3.11?

The main phy dependencies could then remain on numpy>=1.23 without an upper bound, and requires-python could remain >=3.10. This would keep the legacy constraints isolated to users who explicitly install phy[kwik], while allowing regular phy users to use NumPy 2 and newer Python versions.

Also, could we move the new ExampleReclusterPlugin and its associated configuration and documentation changes into a separate PR? It looks like a useful addition, but it’s independent from the Python and Kwik packaging changes. Keeping the two changes separate would make them easier to review and test.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the update and for working through these tricky legacy dependencies!

Could we keep phy[kwik] for the legacy Kwik GUI, with numpy>=1.23,<1.24, and document that it requires Python 3.10 or 3.11?

Could we also move the new reclustering plugin and related changes into a separate PR? It would help keep this PR focused.

One small detail: the changes reference phy[recluster], but only phy[kwik] is defined.

Thanks again!
