Removing pm4py from Prosimos

[iharsuvorau]

We need to remove pm4py dependency ASAP, because of the licensing issue and its underlying cvxopt dependency that cannot be easily installed, especially, after migrating pandas to v2+.

So, I'm starting removal of pm4py from Prosimos, until the tests pass and Simod can depend on Prosimos again. Please, help with your use cases for XES logs that I might miss.

To deal with XES in general, we can:

• assume logs come in CSV only
• convert XES to CSV without pm4py

I started development of https://github.com/AutomatedProcessImprovement/openxes-cli-py. If it suits your needs give it a try or let me know in what cases it doesn't work for you.

@orlenyslp regarding this item, it still needs to be implemented.
I think we agreed to stop supporting XES format completely a while ago.
If we decide to proceed forward with deprecation, this would require changes in multiple places:

1. Prosimos where we deprecate XES format completely
2. in prosimos-frontend, validation should be changed. Right now, user is able to select following extensions: ".xes, .csv, application/zip". This should be adjusted.

Any other repos do not include XES usage, so do not require any changes.

Hi @orlenyslp, we're still waiting for this issue to be closed before moving on to the next version with Simod. Could you please provide the timeline for the issue?
