BLD: remove tiled from requirements, pin numpy < 2.0

[tangkong]

Remove tiled from our dependency list, given there are no direct consumers of it. We may possibly also use this to evaluate removing other regressive pins

TO-DO:

• try removing databroker<2.0.0 pin , to pick up recent numpy 2.0 bugfixes (previously pinned in MAINT: use latest release of databroker as the default #261)
• try removing ophyd==1.7.0 pin, ophyd v2 development has moved to ophyd-async, and the latest version of ophyd was released in Sept 2023. I expect if we get ophyd 1.9.0 to work we won't have to do much else.
• maybe sphinx/rtd_theme incompat?...

[ZLLentz]

I think this is a correct change

[tangkong]

Also p4p uses numpy.distutils on build, which does not exist for python 3.12.
xraylib (used by pcdscalc) needs to be updated to support numpy 2.0
...

[ZLLentz]

I think we definitely will need to pin numpy<2 for now in the builds here

[tangkong]

After pinning numpy<2, a few errors persist.

• p4p's build process requires numpy.distutils, which was deprecated for python 3.12 (different from a numpy error). There is a stalled pull request that promises to fix this Fix distutils deprecation for Python 3.12 epics-base/p4p#141
  • For the record, this is the pva package used by pydm, and is a dev-requirement of it
• in py3.9, xraylib gets installed but can't be found by pip check.

[ZLLentz]

It kind of seems like jumping to python 3.12 will be rough, maybe we should wait to jump or settle for 3.11 for the next big shift. Waiting on MDS to have time to check all his builds when he seems busy in order for us to find the next build issue.

[ZLLentz]

I also added #335 to capture how e.g. py312-readiness should be failing here

[ZLLentz]

Still re-affirming that all the changes here are correct

[ZLLentz]

I'm going to merge this before proceeding to other packaging updates for the upcoming tag storm
