Update conda-forge version to Py 3.8-3.10

[8bitsam]

Update the conda-forge build config to support Python 3.8-3.10. This should ensure dependencies are updating when installing via conda-forge.
Closes #18

Ready for review and merge

I think we can drop 3.5 and 3.6 here too. In principle we are only supporting 3.9 - 3.11 atm. However, we still have code pinned at 3.7 (diffpy-cmi) so I would rather keep things down to 3.7, or else do 3.7 and 3.9 - 3.11.

There are two ways to get to Py3.11.

• One is that, now we have it working locally in 3.10, we do it all again in 3.11, then we roll it out to conda-forge and make sure we can build it there.
• Two is we take it all the way to conda-forge at 3.10 and test that we know how to make that work, then we do the work to take it to 3.11 after that.

I don't have a good answer to that, but I think that it may be quick to get it going on 3.11 (maybe it just runs locally now you know how to build it), so it might be worth trying that. If it just goes, then let's go for broke and bring it up to date with 3.11. If there are things to fix to make it run in 3.11, then go back to "Two"? What do you think?

I agree with choice One. py3.9 to 3.10 needs some work, but py3.10 and py3.11 are similar.

This is failing CI. A quick look suggests that the path to the release artifact may be incorrectly specified.

Also, it seems to be wanting to make a 1.4.0 release but don't we want to bump it to 1.4.1?

I bumped to 1.4.1, but still need to check to make sure the test passes. I changed the build.yaml file based on github's recommendations for fixing the error that appeared in the test.

@8bitsam please can you confirm that a python 3.10 conda env will install 1.4.1 with a `conda install pdffit2` command and report back? Thanks so much, S
