Bump to py3.12 support

[brynpickering]

Move from py3.9-3.11 to py3.10-3.12.

This is made possible by the recent release of a new pandas patch (v2.1.2) that should have dealt with the regressions introduced in v2.1.1 (see #498), according to their changelog.

EDIT: I've run some tests (national scale model over one year) and it seems that the pandas patch hasn't solved the issues entirely. The run has gone from approx 3min50 to 6min. This is offset by a ~30% reduction in peak "resident" memory consumption (no change in "heap" consumption between the two).

Reviewer checklist:

• [ ] Test(s) added to cover contribution
• [ ] Documentation updated
• [ ] Changelog updated
• [ ] Coverage maintained or improved

[brynpickering]

The primary benefit of killing py3.9 support is that cleaner type hints are possible without needing to retain backwards compatibility (Union[A, B] in <=py3.9 vs A | B in >=py3.10).

The only issue I see is that it keeps us quite constrained (currently) to one version of pandas. Once more v2.1 patches are released, we'll have a bit more breathing room.
