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?
