Pandas just released version 3.0, which is incompatible for our codebase. This Commit restricts the requirement to version <3.0. Some minor adjustments are required to allow this new pandas version later (to_hdf method currently fails for positional arg `key`, some hdf5 files become read-only causing issues).

Motivation
Pandas just released version 3.0, which is incompatible for our codebase. This causes installation issues and also causes our CI workflows to fail.
This PR restricts the requirement to version <3.0 as a quick fix.
Changes:
added upperbound for pandas <3.0 in setup.py and requirements.txt
Possible follow-up
Some minor adjustments are required later if we want to allow installation of this newer pandas version (to_hdf method currently fails for positional arg
key, some hdf5 files become read-only causing issues). Meanwhile we can work on migration to polars as replacement of pandas.
