Python 3.9 test fails due jax not properly declaring its python compatibility

[orbeckst]

Under Python 3.9, tests are not even collected because the jax package (via pymbar) did not correctly declare that it needs Python 3.10 due to their use of unions in their Type hints:

We might just punt and drop 3.9 if it's not immediately clear how to deal with jax or what version to pin (just for 3.9... might just not be worth the effort). Instead add 3.11 and 3.12 ... #283
