Description:
msgspec is a fast serialization and validation library, with builtin support for JSON, MessagePack, YAML, and TOML. It features: - High performance encoders/decoders for common protocols. The JSON and MessagePack implementations regularly benchmark as the fastest options for Python. - Support for a wide variety of Python types. Additional types may be supported through extensions. - Zero-cost schema validation using familiar Python type annotations. In benchmarks msgspec decodes and validates JSON faster than orjson can decode it alone. - A speedy Struct type for representing structured data. If you already use dataclasses or attrs, structs should feel familiar. However, they're 5-60x faster for common operations. All of this is included in a lightweight library with no required dependencies.

Mk/Uses/python.mk: Introduce PY_TOMLI

- Convert ports to use PY_TOMLI to simplify Makefile.

The minimal version is set to 2.0.1 because it is required by multiple ports
such as devel/py-poetry.
The upper bound of version is set to 3 because it is limited by devel/py-poetry.
