acoular - v25.01

New features:
- Consistently use file as an attribute to specify a filename (instead of from_file or name).
- Consistently use n_iter in beamformer algorithms that require setting a fixed or maximum number of iterations (e.g., max_iter deprecated).
- Adds new function acoular.tools.helper.c_air to calculate the speed of sound from temperature and humidity.
- acoular.calib.Calib can now be used as a separate processing block.
- Enable varying block buffer sizes for acoular.process.SampleSplitter.
- Replaces HasPrivateTraits with HasStrictTraits and ABCHasStrictTraits for better implementation of ABCs.
- Allow Path objects to specify the caching and time data directory via acoular.Config.
- Adds new abstract base classes acoular.signals.PeriodicSignalGenerator and acoular.signals.NoiseGenerator.
- Adds support for Python 3.13.

Bugfixes
- Pass missing n_iter as an argument to LassoLarsCV in acoular.fbeamform.BeamformerGIB (otherwise, LassoLarsCV runs up to 500 iterations).
- Fix broken pylops solvers in acoular.fbeamform.BeamformerCMF.
- Fixes negative values in source maps obtained with the solvers LassoLars, LassoLarsCV, and LassoLarsBIC.
- Fix use of Trait() factory and replace by Enum, Instance, Map, Union.
- Fix use of deprecated CLong, Long, and ListInt traits.
- The previously broken example in the main README now runs out of the box.

Documentation
- Adds guide on how to submit a pull request.
- Adds intersphinx extension to cross-link documentation from other projects.
- Updates examples to use a right-hand coordinate system.

Tests
- Tests now consequently use pytest framework instead of unittest.
- Separate tests into tests/regression and tests/unittests directories.
- Increases coverage to 76%.
- Introduces snapshot/regression testing for all acoular.base.Generator, acoular.fbeamform.BeamformerBase, acoular.environments.FlowField, and acoular.environments.Environment derived classes (results in new snapshot data of size 1.1MB, see tests/regression/_regtest_output).
- Use pytest-cases to separate parameters from tests (cases are located under tests/cases).
- Full coverage of sdinput.py module through the use of pytest-mock (mocks the behavior of an InputStream object, which cannot be used for CI due to missing audio interfaces).
- Linting and formatting for tests directory.
- Refactor acoular.h5cache.HDF5Cache class due to a bug encountered with the new tests (acoular now can handle changing caching directories during a session. Previously, only the basename was observed, which caused problems with changing cache directories).
- Tests now log the 10 slowest test runs.
- Adds profile options to hatch test environment to profile test run via hatch run tests:profile and save a graphviz chart as an SVG file.
- Test AIAA benchmark classes with the benchmark data.
- Test aperture, center, export_mpos functions in acoular.microphones.MicGeom.

- Exclude jited functions from test coverage report.
- Treat warnings as errors in tests.
- Recursively test for empty dependencies in Property traits that are depended on.

Internal
- Adds a pull request template.
- Dynamically set the version in the pyproject.toml file (from version.py).
- Activates maximum line length enforcement of 120 and 100 for comments and docstrings.
- Adds CI workflow for inspecting regression test outputs.
- Adds action that automatically assigns a team member to newly opened pull requests.
- depends_on now
