Consider loosening Pandas dependency to include some 1.x versions

[kevinschaper]

Recently sssom-py started requiring Pandas >= 2.0.3, which is colliding with other tooling we have which has a conservative upper limit on pandas of <2 (or ^1.x.x). In cat-merge, I found that 2.0.x was ok, but 2.1.x was not. I can look at kgx, but if sssom-py doesn't actually require a 2.x version of Pandas, it would be nice to walk back the requirement.

Yes @hrshdhgd can you take care of that?

@cthoyt , you're actively working on the project. Is there a problem here?

🤷 I don't think there's anything pandas 2.0.0+ but you never know until you try it

At this point I think we should just get cat-merge and kgx to both be compatible with a current version of pandas.
