Updated package infrastructure

This version is an update to the package infrastructure with a "pure" pyproject.toml configuration.

More recent versions of Python, up to 3.13 should be supported.

There are no API changes in this version.

Improvements for batch processing

• missing_from_hpss will proceed through all stages, even if serious errors are detected, to facilitate batch processing. The older behavior can be enabled with --exit-on-error.
• Fix error handling for a variety of corner cases.
• Increase test coverage to 100%.

See PR #15 for details.

Metadata update

This release is a change to metadata only due to a malformed PyPI upload.

Support for high-precision timestamps

This release solves a long-standing issue with obtaining high-precision timestamps for files on HPSS.

In addition, some reorganization of the package infrastructure and metadata was done, but this does not affect the user-facing API.
