PEDS API deprecated, breaks code #187

@oemsysadm

Description

@oemsysadm

I have zero experience with this library (fetched via uv), but in attempting to use it (USApplication.objects.get()), I get the following error:

ConnectError: [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname

Looking through the stack trace, I found the following:

File ~/test/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/patent_client/_sync/uspto/peds/api.py:113, in PatentExaminationDataSystemApi.create_query(self, query, query_fields, default_field, facet, return_fields, filter_query, minimum_match, sort, start, rows)
    111 url = "https://ped.uspto.gov/api/queries"
    112 logger.debug(f"POST {url}\n{params}")
--> 113 response = client.post(
    114     url,
    115     json=params,
    116     headers={"Accept": "application/json"},
    117 )
    118 self.check_response(response)
    119 return PedsPage.model_validate(response.json())

The URL does indeed not exist, and when I did a web search, it seems the API has changed:

https://data.uspto.gov/apis/transition-guide/peds

This is potentially related to issue #185, but I wasn't entirely sure, so decided to post a separate issue for this.
