Enforces the installation of NumPy 2.0 when building PyPI wheels. Otherwise, downstream projects importing both numpy >= 2.0.0 and idyntree built against NumPy 1.X would fail.
Removes support for building wheels on Python 3.7 and 3.8. This is necessary since NumPy >= 2.0.0 is not packaged in PyPI for these Python versions.

I also added a new message in CMake to make sure that the new NumPy 2.0 is found. The output produced by cibuildwheel now prints:

-- Linking SWIG Python bindings against NumPy '2.0.0'

@traversaro ready for review.
