…ython Modernization of SOAP: GSL 2.x Integration and Python 3.x Migration

@j-faria I opened this draft PR in an attempt to begin a dialogue in hopes of getting some of these changes merged into your codebase. Are you open to discussing this? I was likely overly cautious in my caveats in my version of your README. I can clean that up to better reflect the state of the situation if you are open to collaborating. |

Hi @JonathanPorta! Thank your for the suggestions. We have been privately working on an updated version of SOAP that we will make available soon. We are no longer using GSL and everything is written with Python 3.x |

This PR introduces a series of updates that modernize the SOAP repository, ensuring compatibility with newer versions of dependencies and programming language versions. The changes encompass updates from deprecated GSL 1.x calls to full support for GSL 2.x, along with a migration of the StarSpot module from Python 2.x to Python 3.x. These updates are a step towards maintaining the codebase's relevancy and efficiency, as well as improving security and compatibility for future developments.
Changes Included:
GSL 1.x to 2.x Transition: All deprecated GSL 1.x calls within the codebase have been updated to be compatible with GSL 2.x, aligning with modern standards and enhancing the library's functionality and performance.
StarSpot Module Python Migration: The StarSpot module has been migrated from Python 2.x to 3.x. This update is crucial given Python 2's end-of-life status, ensuring the code remains secure, stable, and takes advantage of the latest language features.
Dependency Locking with pipenv: Implementation of dependency locking utilizing pipenv has been added. This addition ensures a more reliable and consistent development and deployment environment by managing dependencies more effectively.
