Update to Python 3.13 and Prepare for Ptera Software 3.2.0 Release

[camUrban]

Description

This pull request updates Ptera Software to require Python 3.13 (up from 3.10) and upgrades several dependencies to newer versions. It also updates project metadata to prepare for the imminent release of Ptera Software 3.2.0.

Motivation

There are several attractive new features in SciPy 1.16+ that require Python 3.11+.

Relevant Issues

This project closes #42.

Changes

• Updated the required Python version to 3.13 across all configuration files (setup.cfg, .github/workflows/tests.yml, .idea/PteraSoftware.iml, .idea/misc.xml, pyproject.toml).
• Modified the GitHub Actions workflow to use Python 3.13, cache pip dependencies, generate coverage reports in XML format, and upload them to Codecov (functionality which was previously broken).
• Updated the project version to 3.2.0 in setup.cfg and make_installer.iss.

New Dependencies

• Increased minimum required versions for key dependencies including matplotlib, numpy, pyvista, scipy, PySide6, and development tools like pre-commit, build, PyInstaller, and wheel in setup.cfg, requirements_ci.txt, requirements_dev.txt, README.md, and pyproject.toml.

Change Magnitude

Moderate: Medium-sized change that adds or modifies a feature without large-scale
impact.
