Pyramid 2.1a1 released

[Michael Merickel]

Pyramid 2.1a1 has been released.

Notably this release:

- Adds support for newer Python versions including 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14.

- Constrains setuptools < 82 so that users don't need to do it manually themselves while we continue working to remove the dependency entirely in the future.

Tentatively I'm thinking the alpha will bake for around a week awaiting feedback from users on whether it's worked for them or caused issues prior to releasing the final 2.1. The more feedback the quicker we can get that done.

I also want to take a moment to appreciate that some of the work on getting this release out the door was generously sponsored by pyfidelity UG via Florian Schulz (fsch...@pyfidelity.com), maintainer of devpi. Thank you!
