Outdated versioneer.py broken for Python 3.12

[nielsreijers]

Python 3.12 removed the long deprecated configparser.SafeConfigParser class which old versions of versioneer depended on.

Expected Behavior

pip install spylon-kernel correctly installs the package.

Current Behavior

pip install spylon-kernel fails with this output:

...
              File "/tmp/pip-install-7tqi8u7z/spylon_2393384d9e244f009732dc4b8192d5fb/versioneer.py", line 412, in get_config_from_root
                parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?
            [end of output]
        
        note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
      error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Steps to Reproduce

pip install spylon-kernel, using Python versions 3.12 and higher.

Detailed Description

SafeConfigParser had been deprecated since Python 3.2., and renamed to simply ConfigParser. In Python 3.12 it has finally been removed.
The versioneer.py file in this repository has been generated with versioneer version 0.17, which generated code that uses SafeConfigParser.
New versions of versioneer use ConfigParser instead, so generating a new versioneer.py with a more recent version fixes the issue.

See: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.2.html#configparser
and: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#removed

Possible Solution

Update the code generated by versioneer to a more recent version.
