Issue:
stac-geoparquet 0.6 deltalake dependency requires python<=3.12
I think this will work itself out soon, but I was very confused about why I had an older version of stac-geoparquet in a new environment.  Specifically, a new python 3.13 environment will install version 0.4.1 instead of 0.6 `mamba create -n test python=3.13 stac-geoparquet --dry-run` .

Looks like this is due to the introduction of the `deltalake` dependency:
```
Dependencies:
 - pyarrow >=16
 - pyarrow-hotfix
 - python >=3.12,<3.13.0a0
 - python >=3.12,<3.13.0a0 *_cpython
 - python_abi 3.12.* *_cp312
```

Hints from issue comments:
@TomAugspurger: We could make `deltalake` an optional dependency and have `stac_geoparquet.arrow._delta_lake` guard against that ImportError.
