This PR unpins SciPy, which was set at the oldest version prior to SciPy depending on xsf in order to remain an independent reference. I was planning to remove SciPy as a dependency entirely, but I now think that isn't actually desirable; it's still useful for generating reference tolerances and checking consistency with the mpmath implementations. I do plan to stop using it as a fallback though, and think we can fill in the remaining gaps in reference implementations with the free for open source use Wolfram engine. This PR should unblock scipy/xsf#175. I've also unpinned the mpmath version. I think I had planned to manually check things out before each mpmath update to guard against regressions, but I don't have bandwidth for that.
