### 🐞 Description of the bug

If you try to use this AVI library with NumPy 2.5.0 or greater, you will receive a weird error:

```
from .variable_value import IVariableValue
File "/home/nsharp/ver/py-cam-common/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansys/tools/variableinterop/variable_value.py", line 107, in
class CommonArrayValue(Generic[T], NDArray[T], IVariableValue, ABC):
TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
```

This is because numpy 2.5.0 redefines numpy.typing.NDArray as a PEP 695 type alias (typing.TypeAliasType), which is not a class and therefore cannot be used as a base class. pyansys-tools-variableinterop 0.1.4 does exactly that in variable_value.py:107:

```Python
class CommonArrayValue(Generic[T], NDArray[T], IVariableValue, ABC):
```

Start at variable_value.py:107 and reproduce the import failure with NumPy 2.5.0 or newer using the issue's virtual-environment steps. Check how CommonArrayValue uses numpy.typing.NDArray, then verify that importing ansys.tools.variableinterop succeeds with the affected NumPy versions and add or update regression coverage if the repository provides it.
