MQT Core 2.4.2 Release

👀 What Changed

Small patch release with updated reusable workflow. Apple Silicon runners now also support Python 3.8 and 3.9.
Python tests are now run on:

• all supported Python versions on Ubuntu
• the minimum and maximum supported version on macOS (Intel + arm64) and Windows.

This means that, e.g., for a library that supports Python 3.8 to 3.12, 5+2+2+2=11 test runs will be started and will produce coverage reports. If you update to the new version of the workflows, make sure to adjust the codecov config.
