use setuptools_scm for auto version numbering
This produces a good version number, whether running out of git or not, whether there are tags or not. Probably the simplest way to handle this.
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 23 April 2024 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around twenty minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk.
