py-numpy: install oldest-supported-numpy metadata

Description

A number of numpy dependents have started specifying oldest-supported-numpy as a build-time dependency. See for example #66606, #66619, #66898. In MacPorts we don't have the problem that this is intended to solve, since the numpy version at runtime will always be >= the one at build time. Patching out the dependencies in each port works, but I think the most expedient general solution is for our numpy ports to simply install a dist-info directory containing appropriate metadata, such that these dependencies will be considered satisfied.

In 42a7af9815778e1430839b6eb2c1711c49128310/macports-ports (master):

New port: py-oldest-supported-numpy

Depend on it in py-numpy so any dependents that declare a dependency on
oldest-supported-numpy will consider it satisfied. No rev bump as this
doesn't change numpy's installed files.

Closes: #67136
