Upgrade astLib for Python>=3.12.

[JSKenyon]

This tiny PR should make tigger-lsm compatible with Python3.12.

[ratt-priv-ci]

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

[bennahugo]

ok to test

[bennahugo]

Thanks fo this. I do think we should keep the minimum version compatible with our current 20.04 (3.8) LTS versions for Tigger and MeqTrees, so maybe just undo the ^3.10 requirement

[JSKenyon]

Ok @bennahugo - the tests seem to be passing. Could you review when you have a moment?

[bennahugo]

Proposed fix is to downgrade setuptools to 70.x Perhaps we need to pin this as a requirement in the toml file per pypa/setuptools#4483

[bennahugo]

Ok I can at least confirm it is an upstream regression in pypa/setuptools#4483 since the last PR to move the build system to poetry.

[bennahugo]

So pip -U setuptools wheel pip no longer works and pip does not specify the core dependencies on specific versions of setuptools correctly per pypa/setuptools#4483. The solution is to do pip -U setuptools[core] wheel pip which is a bit arcane bekludgery to get the build system installer to meet its own dependencies. Hopefully pypa will fix this at some point
