Numpy 2 compatibility and the numpy C API about rasterio

[djhoese]

I do see from that #3002 PR rasterio does limit the version of numpy it is compatible/installable with here:

rasterio/pyproject.toml

Line 2 in 19adc11

requires = ["setuptools>=67.8", "cython~=3.0.2", "numpy>=1.25,<2"]

I'm specifically testing my packages compatibility with numpy 2.0 so I guess rather than considering this a bug that needs fixing this is maybe a feature request for compatibility with numpy 2.0 to be added.

@djhoese I'm working on a 1.4a1 now and will take a look. The wheel builds of 1.4 are completely broken after I upgraded GDAL and vcpkg anyway.

@djhoese I'm going to wait until there is a Numpy pre-release on PyPI instead of spending time on customizing rasterio's builds and Dockerfile. 2.0 and 1.x compatibility would be nice to have for 1.4.0, for sure, so I'm tracking this. If you make any progress in the meanwhile, let us know.
