Adding dependencies to aiida-core

Before adding a new dependency to pyproject.toml, ensure it:

• Fills a non-trivial feature gap not easily resolved otherwise
• Is actively maintained
• Supports all Python versions supported by aiida-core
• Is available on both PyPI and conda-forge
• Uses an MIT-compatible license (MIT, BSD, Apache, LGPL — not GPL)

After modifying pyproject.toml, the uv-lock and generate-conda-environment pre-commit hooks will automatically update uv.lock and environment.yml to stay in sync. Run uv run pre-commit to trigger them.
