Enable user to install from conda-forge channel

[tony-zeidan]

I definitely believe that users should be able to install our package from an anaconda distribution. This goes hand-in-hand with PyPI distribution.

Conda is failing on

ERROR: Package 'geohexviz' requires a different Python: 3.11.0 not in '<=3.8.16,>=3.7'

Why do you have this very restrictive and out-of-date pin in here https://github.com/mrempel/geohexviz/blob/c2c07b39a4dfbe87b6a9b43dc3a9da228a8508cd/setup.py#L26 and https://github.com/mrempel/geohexviz/blob/c2c07b39a4dfbe87b6a9b43dc3a9da228a8508cd/pyproject.toml#L13?

Btw, you should not specify the package metadata in both pyproject and setup.py, using pyproject.toml shall be enough. See this warning emitted during the build

      ##########################################################################
      # configuration would be ignored/result in error due to `pyproject.toml` #
      ##########################################################################

      The following seems to be defined outside of `pyproject.toml`:

      `entry-points = {'console_scripts': ['geohexsimple=geohexviz.simple:main']}`

      According to the spec (see the link below), however, setuptools CANNOT
      consider this value unless 'entry-points' is listed as `dynamic`.

      https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/declaring-project-metadata/

      For the time being, `setuptools` will still consider the given value (as a
      **transitional** measure), but please note that future releases of setuptools will
      follow strictly the standard.

      To prevent this warning, you can list 'entry-points' under `dynamic` or alternatively
      remove the `[project]` table from your file and rely entirely on other means of
      configuration.

@martinfleis Regarding the Python version range, I recall that @tony-zeidan and I were running into issues using newer version of Python. I have retested the package using 3.7 through 3.11, and all tests (using pytest) passed and all automated tests passed. I have updated the automated tests to now run for 3.7 through 3.11, and setup.py and environment.yml state that the version of python required is >= 3.7.

These changes have been pushed to the master branch.

@martinfleis - pyproject and setup.py, using pyproject.toml have been updated as mentioned above. These changes are call captured in the release v1.0.2 and are resident in PyPi as well.

It is available now https://github.com/conda-forge/geohexviz-feedstock. Not yet for Arm processors (like M1, M2 MacBooks) but I will schedule a bot to do the migration to that as well.
