mark 'packaging' as test-only dependency

[jameslamb]

packaging is only used in docs builds:

nvforest/docs/source/conf.py

Line 24 in 1dcd17c

from packaging.version import Version

and tests:

nvforest/python/nvforest/tests/test_nvforest.py

Line 763 in 1dcd17c

from packaging.version import Version

It doesn't need to be declared as a runtime dependency of nvforest. This moves it to a test-time-only dependency.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Reorganized dependency management across conda and Python configurations for improved maintainability.
  • Moved the packaging dependency from runtime to test-only dependencies.
  • Simplified dependency declarations by removing redundant anchoring and shared-definition patterns.

Walkthrough

Removed packaging from primary runtime/build dependencies and consolidated it as a test/docs-shared dependency; also removed YAML anchors for cython and numpy, replacing them with plain entries in the dependencies manifest and moved packaging into test optional-dependencies in the Python project config.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Conda recipe conda/recipes/nvforest/recipe.yaml	Removed packaging from host/run requirements.
YAML dependency manifests dependencies.yaml	Removed &cython anchor from cython>=3.0.0 and &numpy anchor from numpy>=1.23,<3.0a0; introduced &packaging packaging under docs.common.packages; removed packaging from py_run_nvforest.common.packages and added it to test_python.common.packages via *packaging.
Python project metadata python/nvforest/pyproject.toml	Deleted packaging from [project].dependencies and added it to [project.optional-dependencies].test.
