Update numpy requirement from ~=2.3.3 to ~=2.4.2

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on numpy to permit the latest version.

Changelog

Sourced from numpy's changelog.

This is a walkthrough of the NumPy 2.4.0 release on Linux, which will be the first feature release using the numpy/numpy-release <https://github.com/numpy/numpy-release>__ repository.

The commands can be copied into the command line, but be sure to replace 2.4.0 with the correct version. This should be read together with the :ref:general release guide <prepare_release>.

Facility preparation

Before beginning to make a release, use the requirements/*_requirements.txt files to ensure that you have the needed software. Most software can be installed with pip, but some will require apt-get, dnf, or whatever your system uses for software. You will also need a GitHub personal access token (PAT) to push the documentation. There are a few ways to streamline things:

• Git can be set up to use a keyring to store your GitHub personal access token. Search online for the details.
• You can use the keyring app to store the PyPI password for twine. See the online twine documentation for details.

Prior to release

Add/drop Python versions

When adding or dropping Python versions, multiple config and CI files need to be edited in addition to changing the minimum version in pyproject.toml. Make these changes in an ordinary PR against main and backport if necessary. We currently release wheels for new Python versions after the first Python RC once manylinux and cibuildwheel support that new Python version.

Backport pull requests

Changes that have been marked for this release must be backported to the maintenance/2.4.x branch.

Update 2.4.0 milestones

Look at the issues/prs with 2.4.0 milestones and either push them off to a later version, or maybe remove the milestone. You may need to add a milestone.
