pyspartn Pull Request Template

Description

1. As of October 2025, u-blox have discontinued all their encrypted SPARTN services (PointPerfect L-Band and MQTT). For this reason, the cryptography package used for SPARTN message decryption is now an optional dependency for pyspartn. To enable decryption support, install cryptography separately e.g.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade cryptography

2. Update minimum actively support Python version to 3.10 (3.9 EOL end October 2025).
