Python 3.13 support on PyPI for VFX Reference Platform CY2026 Draft

[hugow]

We are using opentimelineio for python 3.13 (VFX reference platform CY2026). We would like to be able to fetch the pre-built packages from PyPI (currently supported up to python 3.11, but not python 3.13)

I took a quick look through the code and it might be as simple as ensuring we test against 3.13, that we make sure to build the wheels for 3.13, and that we add the supported version in the setup.py to indicate support on PyPI (if passing tests).

• Remove vfx platform 2020 support from README.md, add 2024 and 2025, note that 3.12 is also supported #1883
