Relax kaldialign pin in ASR requirements to unblock Python 3.14 compatibility

[basnijholt]

Summary

• relax kaldialign in requirements/requirements_asr.txt from <=0.9.1 to kaldialign

Context

In PR #14775, commit ce4ad4b changed this requirement from kaldialign>=0.9.2 to kaldialign<=0.9.1 with the message "decrease kaldialign version".

I could not find additional rationale in the PR discussion/review thread, so the reason for the cap is currently not documented for downstream maintainers.

Why This Change

kaldialign now publishes Python 3.14 wheels (e.g. 0.9.3, including cp314).

The <=0.9.1 cap blocks those newer releases, which prevents consumers from resolving newer Python-compatible builds.

Relaxing the cap allows dependency resolution to use current releases and improves Python 3.14 compatibility.

Request For Context

@andrusenkoau if there was a specific compatibility reason for the <=0.9.1 cap, could you share it here? If needed, I can revise this PR to a softer bound (for example <1) instead of fully unbounded.

@andrusenkoau Could you share the original reason for pinning kaldialign<=0.9.1 in #14775? I could not find context in the thread, and newer kaldialign releases are needed for clean Python 3.14 compatibility.

Hi @basnijholt,
I had a CI error for arm platform with fresh kaldialign versions. I had no other reason to keep kaldialign<=0.9.1. We can fix this limitation once the tests pass.
