• Use Pint's documented approach to cache registry instantiation.

• Add Python 3.12 to classifiers.
• Replace black with ruff for code formatting.

Actually test against the earliest supported Pint version shown in pyproject.toml.

Here we see:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'alen'

This was removed in numpy 1.23.0, released 2022-06-23. Numpy 1.22.4 only provides wheels up to Python 3.10.
