BLD: oldest-supported-numpy is now unneeded #4568

Description

@neutrinoceros

Since numpy 1.25, building backward compatible wheels against newer versions of numpy is supported, see:
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/release/1.25.0-notes.html#compiling-against-the-numpy-c-api-is-now-backwards-compatible-by-default

As a result, oldest-supported-numpy will likely stop being updated in the near future and we should migrate back to numpy>=1.25 as a build-time requirement instead.

I currently have no reasons to think this migration is urgent, but depending on how things play out in the coming weeks it might be necessary to do it in order to add compatibility with Python 3.12

It may still be worth trying it out sooner rather than later, if time allows it.
