Update SciPy Requirement to Support Python 3.14

[Qazalbash]

I am currently exploring the possibility of supporting GWKokab on Python 3.14, but scipy==1.15.3 does not support Python 3.14. While investigating this issue, I noticed that support appears to have been addressed upstream.

If possible, could you please remove or relax this version constraint in the next release to allow installation on Python 3.14?

uv venv -p 3.14

uv pip install --upgrade rift

hint: `scipy` (v1.15.3) was included because `rift` (v0.0.17.8) depends on `scipy`
hint: Build failures usually indicate a problem with the package or the build environment

[oshaughnessy-junior]

All future releases including 0.0.18.0rc0 will unpin the version of scipy. (If you need source, see the latest oshaugh/rift_O4d branch).

We may need an internal-use release for container management for IR1 which doesn't fix this issue. However, you should feel free to install the newer code.
