Add Python 3.13 support (#1048)

Fixes #217

## Summary

- Bump `requires-python` from `>=3.10,<3.13` to `>=3.10,<3.14` to
formally include Python 3.13
- Add explicit Python 3.10–3.13 PyPI classifiers for better
discoverability
- Add `py313` to tox CPU unit test and partial-install environment
matrices
- Add Python 3.10–3.13 to the `multi-py` CI matrix in `unit_tests.yml`

## Background

Python 3.13 was previously excluded by the `<3.13` upper bound. Testing
in a related repo with `--ignore-requires-python` confirmed that the
library installs and runs correctly under Python 3.13. This PR lifts the
restriction and wires up CI to verify it going forward.

## Test plan

- [ ] CI `multi-py` job passes on `py313-torch210-tf_latest-unit`
- [ ] `tox -e py313-torch210-tf_latest-unit` passes locally (requires
Python 3.13 installed)
- [ ] `tox -e py313-partial-unit-torch` passes locally
- [ ] No regressions on existing Python 3.10/3.11/3.12 matrix jobs
