fix: added check for FriCAS version

[devansh-srv]

This pull request includes several updates to the FriCAS class in the src/sage/features/fricas.py file. The changes introduce a minimum version requirement, add a method to retrieve the installed FriCAS version, and enhance the is_functional method to check the version.This is an attempt to fix the issue 39784

Enhancements to version handling and functionality checks:

• src/sage/features/fricas.py: Added a MINIMUM_VERSION attribute to specify the minimum required version of FriCAS.
• src/sage/features/fricas.py: Introduced a get_version method to retrieve the installed FriCAS version.
• src/sage/features/fricas.py: Updated the is_functional method to call get_version and check if the installed version meets the minimum requirement. If the version is not retrievable or is too old, appropriate error messages are returned.

Hey @dimpase
I have checked that the url https://fricas.github.io/ refers to version 1.3.11
but this ticket concludes that FriCAS support was updated to 1.3.8
so I think 1.3.8 version check would be appropriate but I need to be sure
I am not on a Ubuntu machine (rather an arch machine)

[dimpase]

indeed, anything earlier than 1.3.8 wasn't supported. Perhaps some tests, updated for newer FriCAS, might now fail, but that's OK

can we use a non-deprecated API here?

>>> from pkg_resources import parse_version
<stdin>:1: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

[dimpase]

e.g. you can use https://packaging.pypa.io/en/stable/version.html

[devansh-srv]

e.g. you can use https://packaging.pypa.io/en/stable/version.html

We can but is it causing any issue in the building process?

pkg_resources

@dimpase the package pkg_resources definitely needs to go as it is deprecated as shown by pytorch ticket 139170
I have made the necessary changes using the packaging.version package
I have also written and optional EXAMPLE doctest for the get_version() method
