fix: uc: Update for Python 3.13+ compatibility

This commit addresses several points to ensure compatibility with Python 3.13 and incorporates modern Python practices:

- Replaced `distutils.version.LooseVersion` with `packaging.version.Version` in `patcher.py` and added `packaging` to dependencies.
- Modernized `os.system` calls in `patcher.py` to use `subprocess.run` for better control and error handling.
- Updated `setup.py`:
    - Bumped versions for `selenium`, `requests`, `websockets`, and `packaging`.
    - Replaced `codecs.open` with standard `open`.
    - Added Python 3.12 and 3.13 classifiers.
- Updated `super()` calls in `__init__.py` to the concise Python 3 syntax.
