9.2.0.rc (#1232)

* Python module is now built using scikit-build-core: Dev/scikitbuild #1164
* slsdet is available on PyPI from this release onwards
* Fixed broken import in typecaster.h #1181
* Dev/automate version number #1193
* Dev/automate version part2 #1209
* 9111: added expat to host section to fix conda #1216
* fix for gotthard.py to import slsdet properly
* added slsFramesynchronizer to conda copy_lib.sh
* version of release
* update version of client
* removed cmake <=3.28 that was added in 9.1.11 (main_library in meta.yaml in conda-recipes)
* added slsFrameSynchronizer binary to conda
* added numpy dependency to toml
* added documentation for pip in installation

Detailed Commits:
* skeleton pyproject.toml
* moved compiled extension into slsdet
* WIP
* WI{
* separated the recipes
* restored comments, cleanup
* cleaned meta yaml
* added back some python versions
* conda build of main library
* fixed typo
* removed conda build pin
* added zlib
* added workflow for python lib
* patching libzmq and cleaned up cmake
* removed compiler version
* switched patch tool
* reverted to scikit-build in pyproject.toml
* added sls_detector bin
* added sync, renamed action
* update cmake<=3.28 in conda build requirements
* Fixed broken import in typecaster.h (#1181)
- Fixed the broken import _slsdet --> slsdet._slsdet caused by a previous upgrade
- added tests that exercises the conversion from python to C++ and from C++ to python
- Python unit tests now run in CI (!)
* removed 3.28 restriction on cmake in meta.yaml
* from #1216 to 9.1.1.rc that got lost in merge from develoepr, added expat to host section to fix conda build
* back with the cmake restriction
* fixing gotthard1 import
* version number automated for python build
* mistakenly set version back to 0.0.0
* updated github workflow scripts to support automatic version numbering with environment variable
* managed to load VERSION file in yaml file - simplifies things
* saving changes in git workflow failed
* got typo in github workflow
* updatet regex pattern to support postfix
* normalized version to PEP 440 specification in update_version.py
* bug did not support version 0.0.0
* added regex pattern matching to version in toml file
* version now supports . before postfix
* updates api version based on version file & converted shell script files to python
* updated all makefiles
* adresses review comments
* updated release version and the api lib version
* raise an exception if the pull socket python script had errors at startup (for eg if pyzmq was not installed)
* cmake<=3.28 not required anymore
* updated documentation for pip installation as well
* 920/add numpy  (#1226)
* added numpy dependency
* aded build specifications for python version and platform
* release notes
