Python Free Threading

[seanlaw]

Python free threading is the future of Python. We should test whether it has any impact on STUMPY (likely not)

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue and investigate whether Python free-threading has any impact on STUMPY. Please let me know if there are any specific benchmarks or test cases you'd like me to focus on.

@chethan-chandra01 Thank you for your interest. I have no experience with free-threading Python but maybe you are able to follow one of the other Github Actions workflows and help us set one up that involves using a free-threaded version of Python?
