Version 5.3.0

The main new feature (and motivation for a new minor release, 5.3.0), is that Uproot now strictly depends on the cramjam library for compression, rather than optionally depending on lz4, xxhash, and zstd (prompting users to install them when needed, rather than upfront when Uproot is installed).
