yt 4.0.4

Summary

This is the fourth bugfix release in the 4.0.x series.
This release fixes a critical incompatibility with the upcoming release of Matplotlib (3.6). This should have no immediate effect but allow yt to be installed alongside Matplotlib 3.6.
It is our first release to be distributed for Mac ARM (M1) on PyPI.

This release contains no new deprecation or removal and should be fully backward compatible, we recommend all users to upgrade.
