Merged PR 22084: Prepare pypylon 3.0.0 release

    - Date 2023-11-09
      - Updated to pylon 7.4 on linux and windows
      - Add support for pylon Data Processing and vTools
      - Linux (64bit) binaries are now manylinux_2_31 compliant and therefore
        require glibc >= 2.31
      - Deprecate the direct feature assignment style, e.g cam.Gain = 42
        in favor of e.g. cam.Gain.Value = 42 to allow typing support
      - Adjust all code examples and tests to use property access for
        features e.g. cam.Gain.Value, cam.Gain.Min, cam.Gain.Max ...
      - Update reference version of macOS intel builds
      - Moved windows builds to GitHub actions
      - Update README.md
