OverflowError with rdann on LUED annotations w/numpy 2.2

Start in wfdb/io/annotation.py at rdann, proc_ann_bytes, and proc_core_fields, where the traceback reaches the uint8 overflow. Run the LUDB rdann examples with NumPy 2.2.1 and 1.26.4, then verify that annotation loading completes without OverflowError under the newer version.

Another area of incompatibility with numpy 2.2 I fear...

If I try

wfdb.rdann('physionet.org/files/ludb/1.0.0/1', extension='atr_ii')

or (for version 1.0.1)

wfdb.rdann('physionet.org/files/ludb/1.0.1/1', extension='ii')

I get:

OverflowError: Python integer 256 out of bounds for uint8

Using the command line rdann works fine, and it works after downgrading numpy 1.26. Seems likely related to #493 ?

Pertinent versions:
wfdb-python == 4.1.2
numpy == 2.2.1 (broken)
numpy == 1.26.4 (works)
python == 3.12
