Upgrade dependencies on v2 banch (#1992)

Fixes #1969

    The main goal was upgrading werkzeug for CVE-2024-34069.
After switching to python 3.12, it proved more difficult with changes to
    setuptools, etc. I decided to pull the pyproject from the main, and
utilize that, alone with updated dependencies. Small changes were needed
    in various api changes, notably:
    
    - flask change of request_ctx
    - swagger_ui_bundle version change, default_template_dir change
    - aiohttp middleware api slightly changed
    - flask json change, using flask.json.provider
    
    I believe these changes will have minimal impact to users, but the
changes are likely breaking for some, specifically, the move to latest
    flask.
