Description

This PR introduces a significant refactoring of the code to use a registry system for serializing and deserializing XML into KML objects. The main changes include:

• The introduction of a registry system in fastkml/overlays.py to replace the previous methods for creating etree elements and getting kwargs. This affects classes like _Overlay, ViewVolume, ImagePyramid, PhotoOverlay, LatLonBox, and GroundOverlay.
• The update of tests in tests/times_test.py to reflect the changes in the main code.
• The addition of new files introspect.py and tests/registry_test.py, and modifications in several other files.

These changes enhance the code's maintainability and readability, and provide a more robust and flexible XML parsing functionality.

PR Feedback

💡 General suggestions: The PR is well-structured and the changes are clearly explained. The introduction of a registry system for XML serialization and deserialization is a significant improvement to the codebase. However, it would be beneficial to include more detailed comments in the code to explain the purpose and functionality of the new registry system. This would help other developers understand the changes more easily.

[what-the-diff]

PR Summary

• Support for Python 3.13
  The PR updated library configurations to officially support Python 3.13, which will ensure that the code runs smoothly with this version.

• Introduction of Registry Module
  The PR added a new file, registry.py to the fastkml package. This new module facilitates a more dynamic and flexible management of various components in the code.

• Refactoring in Atom, Containers, and Data Files
  In the atom.py file of the fastkml package, specific methods were deleted from a class, with the class itself being registered with new attributes. These steps were replicated across other classes and files as well (like Folder, Document, Schema, etc.), effectively enhancing their structure and operability.

• Namespace Enhancements
  The PR improved upon the NAME_SPACES dictionary present in config.py, replacing hardcoded namespace strings with variables. This makes for easier maintenance of the codebase.

• Import Optimizations and Refactoring in Helper file
  In the fastkml/helpers.py file, unnecessary imports were removed, and the function signatures were updated to accept optional arguments and a known types tuple as parameters. This introduces more flexibility in calling these functions.

• Addition of Test units
  To assess the efficacy of the new and refactored code, several test units were added across different files (data_test.py, oldunit_test.py, etc.) and a brand new registry_test.py was introduced.

• Configuration File Changes
  Both tox.ini and pyproject.toml went through some restructuring. In pyproject.toml, Python 3.13 was added, while tox.ini saw [testenv] section removal and [flake8] section addition, reflecting testing environment changes.
