This update is required for latest versions of packages such as sphinx
to build with flit, otherwise you encounter errors like:
| File "/home/tgamblin/workspace/yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/python3-sphinx/8.2.1/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/flit_core/config.py", line 444, in _check_type
| raise ConfigError(
| "{} field should be {}, not {}".format(field_name, cls, type(d[field_name]))
| )
| flit_core.config.ConfigError: license field should be <class 'dict'>, not <class 'str'>

| ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke get_requires_for_build_wheel
Changelog (https://github.com/pypa/flit/blob/main/doc/history.rst#version-311):
- Support for SPDX license expressions and multiple license files, as
detailed in PEP 639:
license = "BSD-3-Clause"
license-files = ["LICENSE"]
For now, only a single license identifier is allowed. More complex
expressions describing multiple licenses & expressions may be
supported in a future version.
- The metadata format in produced packages is now version 2.4, to
support the expanded license information.
