The main purpose of this PR is to update the version of Python used in CI to generate the wheel files. The current version is Python 3.7 which is out of support. Using 3.7 leads to outdated versions of setuptools and cibuildwheel being installed. Most significantly, this means that the version of cibuildwheel used does not build wheels for Python 3.12.
While updating the Python version, I noticed warnings about GitHub actions versions being outdated and going out of support soon, so I updated them as well. That work could be split out of the PR if preferred.
Detailed list of distinct changes:
python setup.py sdist
withpython -m build --sdist
since the former was deprecated and does not work with the latest setuptools.
