Relax manifest check + bump country-model pins to 3.9-compatible releases

changelog.d/bump-country-pins.fixed.md

+Bump pinned country-model versions in `[us]`, `[uk]`, and `[dev]` extras, and the corresponding bundled release manifests, to versions that support Python 3.9, include the breakdown-range fixes required by the stricter validator in policyengine-core 3.24.0+, and ship with policyengine-core>=3.24.1. Previously `policyengine-us==1.602.0` and `policyengine-uk==2.74.0` were stale pins that no longer installed cleanly under modern core. Data-package pins (`policyengine-us-data==1.73.0`, `policyengine-uk-data==1.40.4`) are unchanged — the bumped model versions read the same dataset artefacts as before.

+Change the installed-vs-manifest country-model version check from a hard `ValueError` to a `UserWarning`. Calculations now run against whatever country-model version is installed; downstream code that cares about exact pinning can still inspect `model.release_manifest`. This stops routine country-model patch bumps from breaking `UKTaxBenefitModel`/`USTaxBenefitModel` instantiation in callers that pin `policyengine` but resolve `policyengine-uk`/`policyengine-us` via `>=`.

+"""Regression: ``PolicyEngineUKLatest`` / ``PolicyEngineUSLatest`` must not
+raise on manifest-vs-installed version drift.
+
+Previously both models raised ``ValueError`` on any version mismatch
+between the bundled manifest and the installed country model. That
+made every country-model bump — routine weekly work — require a
+coordinated pypkg manifest update, and when downstream core tightened
+parameter validation, every post-merge pypkg publish failed at import
+time because the stale pins in the pypkg extras couldn't install
+cleanly.
+
+The check is now a ``UserWarning`` so calculations run against
+whatever country-model version is installed.
+
+We don't fully instantiate the classes here — their ``__init__`` goes
+on to fetch the data-release manifest from Hugging Face (needs network
++ credentials), run dataset certification, and call the expensive
+``TaxBenefitModelVersion.__init__`` that loads every parameter. We
+just want to verify the version-mismatch branch switched from ``raise``
+to ``warn``. We do that by calling the relevant ``__init__`` with the
+downstream work mocked out.
