Remove the numpy<2.4 cap from runtime requirements

[cdeil]

Summary

• requirements.txt: numpy>=1.18.5,<2.4 → numpy>=1.18.5, and drop the comment that explains the cap

Motivation

setup.py publishes requirements.txt as install_requires, so every release since 1.4.0 carries the cap as a runtime requirement. For users this means:

• roboflow>=1.4 cannot be installed together with NumPy 2.4 or newer; pip and uv report a conflict.
• An unpinned roboflow silently resolves to an older release instead, 1.3.13 next to NumPy 2.4 and 1.3.10 next to NumPy 2.5 (checked with uv pip compile), so users lose everything added since 1.4.

The cap exists only for the type check: mypy runs with python_version = "3.10" and could not parse the PEP 695 type statements in NumPy's newer stubs (#498). #499 proposed a cap in the dev extra only, but the cap landed in requirements.txt via #495 and #496. Since then, pyproject.toml has gained a mypy override for numpy (follow_imports = "skip"), which solves the type-check problem on its own, so the cap is not needed anywhere, not even in the dev extra. (An earlier revision of this PR moved the cap to the dev extra; after rebasing onto current main that is no longer necessary.)

Test plan

On current main (7faa0dd) plus this PR, with Python 3.13, NumPy 2.5.3 and mypy 2.4.0:

• make check_code_quality (ruff format, ruff check, mypy over 78 source files) passes
• python -m unittest: 1209 tests OK (1 skipped)
• the built wheel declares Requires-Dist: numpy>=1.18.5, and resolving roboflow[dev] from it picks NumPy 2.5.3

Hi @iurisilvio and @digaobarbosa, a friendly ping on this one. Since 1.4.0, roboflow cannot be installed next to NumPy 2.4 or newer, and an unpinned roboflow silently falls back to 1.3.13 (NumPy 2.4) or 1.3.10 (NumPy 2.5).

I rebased the PR onto current main and simplified it: thanks to the mypy override for numpy in pyproject.toml, the cap is no longer needed for type checking, so the PR now just removes it instead of moving it to the dev extra. I updated the description accordingly. With Python 3.13 and NumPy 2.5.3, make check_code_quality and the full test suite pass locally.

The "Test WorkFlow" run is waiting for maintainer approval (action_required).

If you have a minute, #520 is a similarly small fix: it lets roboflow-slim installs import Version.

Thanks for maintaining the SDK!
