Highlights
* TensorFlow dependency removed: it is now possible to use Keras Core with JAX or PyTorch without installing TensorFlow.
* Significant performance improvements for Keras optimizers with PyTorch eager execution. Keras optimizers with the PyTorch backend are now at performance parity with native PyTorch optimizers.
* Added the NumPy backend. Note that it does not support training. You can use it to create and call models / layers, write custom evaluation loops, etc.
