v1.1.4

v1.1.4 is a feature-and-cleanup release on the waterdata module: five new public getters that bring Python toward parity with the R dataRetrieval package, the formal start of the nwis deprecation (each function now emits a per-call DeprecationWarning naming its waterdata.* replacement; module removal scheduled on or after 2027-05-06), and a long tail of bug fixes across waterdata, nldi, wqp, and the shared utilities. Closes #270.
