Build ioda and ioda-converters with Python 3.13

[climbfuji]

Description

Relax constraint on python in ioda, patch ioda-converters so that it builds and passes the ctests with python@3.13, py-numpy@2.1.4, and py-pandas@2.3.3. See #2116 for the glorious details.

This pull request is necessary to move forward with the update to python@3.13 for spack-stack release 2.2. It ensures that the answers of ioda-converters don't change when updating from py-numpy@1.26.4 to py-numpy@2.1.4.

@mathomp4 @eap Please note that py-pandas must remain at version 2; the latest available version 2.3.3 works.

The extensive patches to the ioda-converters python scripts seem, in general, updates that should be applied in the ioda-converters repo. I've had success in telling Claude to provide instructions for another Claude session to implement fixes. Ie, the session that created the patches for spack-stack could be asked to provide instructions for replicating these fixes in a fresh Claude session in the ioda-converters repo (if that hasn't already been done). What do others think?

Can we move forward with this PR? It's blocking the update to Python 3.13. Thanks.

I see the utility of getting this PR merged in now so that the remainder of the Python 3.13 work can get completed. For this purpose I'm going to approve.

However, I'm concerned that we are going to miss all of these patches for ioda-converters and get bit by this later when we are testing jedi-bundle in ss-2.2. Could you submit an issue in ioda-converters to remind us of this work? Thanks!
