Python packages v1.4.0

The following Python packages have been uploaded to PyPI, and they can be installed with pip install --upgrade maude.

.whl files can also be directly installed with pip for the matching Python version (3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12).

• This version is built against Maude 3.4.
• The new =># search type of Maude 3.4 can be used as maude.BRANCH in the search command.
• Regression: Term.arguments recovers its default behavior before 1.3, i.e. it normalizes terms before iterating over its arguments. Term.arguments(False) can be used to iterate over the unnormalized term, but the arguments are fragile objects that will be destroyed as soon as the whole term is destroyed.
• pyproject.toml-based build using scikit-build-core instead of scikit-build.
• New string constant maude.MAUDE_VERSION with the version of Maude against the library is built. In the binaries of this release it takes the value 3.4+smc.
