MQT DDSIM 1.24.0 Release

👀 What Changed

Python 3.13 is out and Python 3.8 has reached end-of-life. Hence, this release drops support for Python 3.8 and includes Python 3.13 wheels (including the free-threading Python variant).

Additionally, this is the first release with Linux wheels based on manylinux_2_28 instead of manylinux2014. This means generally faster performance for the package on Linux.

This is also the first release including a uv.lock file for reproducible, working Python environments. This includes switching from dependabot to renovate for automatically managing dependency updates.

Finally, this release contains a couple of convenience updates for MQT DDSim.
