Update setup.py to accommodate Python3.13.0

[Shonas301]

Changes made

• Update setup.py to pass in a local dictionary to exec to capture the locals() in _version.py for package version reporting.

Motivation

• Python3.13.0 enforces stricter safety standards on locals() with PEP 667 (see here)

• This causes the following error upon attempting to install with python3.13 -m pip install openai-whisper:

EXTRA NOTES

• This does not enable openai-whisper to be pip installed with Python3.13, due to a dependency on the numba library. This issue and missing dependency can be tracked here

Would it be a more intuitive and durable solution to replace the deprecated pkg_resources with packaging?

The error message contained

DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources, importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources, importlib_metadata). Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions.
