Support numpy>= 2.0.0

[suzhoum]

Description

Hi Team,

With the increasing adoption of numpy>=2.0.0, and some prominent packages—such as spaCy—now requiring this version as a dependency (see here), I would like to inquire if there are plans for GluonTS to support numpy>=2.0.0 in the near future.

Our team is actively working on AutoGluon, which relies on both spacy and gluonts. We have been receiving numerous requests from our users to support numpy>=2.0.0. Having compatibility with this version would greatly benefit our project and likely others in the ecosystem.

We would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request and any guidance you could provide on a potential timeline for supporting this upgrade.

Thank you for your continued efforts and support!
