Lower minimum required version of importlib.metadata

[aphedges]

I had problems installing a package that required daidepp because daidepp requires too recent a version of importlib.metadata. Commit d31a7d5¹ added the requirement for importlib.metadata with a minimum version of 6.0.0. The commit was made on 2023-02-08, and 6.0.0 was the latest version available at the time.² However, according to the README,³ 1.4.0 was the version used by the Python 3.8 stdlib, so no newer version is needed. I have loosened the requirement accordingly.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, what's the package that requires daidepp?

Thanks for merging!

We (USC ISI, UMD, and University of Sydney) are continuing the experiments from SHADE, and I've been working on a framework for our agents: https://github.com/ALLAN-DIP/chiron-utils. We aren't communicating with DAIDE anymore, but daidepp provides a more structured way to express moves internally than using the standard and informal move syntax from the game.

@aphedges That's great! I'm glad to see that this work is still being used. Since you're actively working with daidepp I can also elevate you to a maintainer on the project if you'd like.

@mjspeck, I forgot to respond to your comment 2 months ago, but yes, elevating me to be a maintainer would be appreciated!

Done!
