update numpy easyblock to support installing numpy >= 2.0

[boegel]

Very much WIP, but a first naive tests seems to have done something useful (though it didn't actually run meson at all?!):

The SciPy-bundle-2025.06-gfbf-2025a.eb easyconfig here was taken from easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#23023 and edited to (only) have numpy 2.3.0 as extension

edit: update 20250624: mostly working now, requires some changes to PythonPackage easyblock:

• enhance PythonPackage to allow specifying location to temporary installation used in test step + also update $PATH to pick up on binaries/scripts from it #3797
