MDAnalysis develop incompatible with numpy 2.0

[lilyminium]

Related to MDAnalysis/cookiecutter-mdakit#129 -- perhaps we should be pinning numpy here for now?

Retriggering last week's CI yields failures for micromamba as well, so this may go beyond pip: https://github.com/MDAnalysis/install-mdanalysis/actions/runs/9531795135/job/26546804394

Assuming CI passes on latest changes here: MDAnalysis/mdanalysis#4620 (review)

The best approach is to fix the wheel building for MDA imho. This will avoid potential dependency clashes and/or further issues if you happen to pick up numpy before or after this action.

so this may go beyond pip

From a brief look, this is still pip related - the problem, as I see it, is that we're building MDA with a non 2.0 version but when picking up dependnecies (during the latter half of the pip install) it just picks up a newer version of numpy (because it can).

Ok I re-ran the last cron CI job and things seem to be good now: https://github.com/MDAnalysis/install-mdanalysis/actions/runs/9531795135

Are you happy with this solution @lilyminium ?

[lilyminium]

Yes that's perfect, thanks for the fix @IAlibay!
