py-xopen: updated to 2.1.0

v2.1.0 (2026-06-03) Zstandard is now supported by using compression.zstd, which is part of the Python standard library since Python 3.14. On Python versions before 3.14, backports.zstd is used instead. Zstandard support is no longer optional. That is, it is no longer necessary to install xopen with the zstd extra. The reason Zstandard was optional was that python-zstandard wheels are quite large, but backports.zstd wheels are much smaller. Dropped support for Python 3.8 and 3.9 Started supporting Python 3.13 and 3.14 (including free-threaded)
