GT4Py v1.2.0

Changes since v1.1.12

General

• Drop support for Python 3.10 and 3.11.
• Update dace dependency to 2.0.0a5.

Cartesian

• Add gtscript.lazy_function decorator that delays parsing of annotated gtscript functions until first use, enabling types that are not fully defined at import time.
• Update the C++ standard to C++20 for generated code.
• Fix derived math functions in the DaCe backend to respect literal float precision, matching Fortran behavior.
• Avoid long compilation times in the DaCe backend by skipping a costly simplification pass.
