Subject: [PATCH 32/34] Disable testing with python 3.14 due to uamqp failure

     copying uamqp/c_uamqp.c -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-314/uamqp
      running build_ext
      will build uamqp in build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-314/cmake
      Building with generator flags: -G "Unix Makefiles"
      calling cmake /tmp/pip-install-_kzi19it/uamqp_0ffe901a1b2d40ffba853b801e6f3b79/src/vendor/azure-uamqp-c/ -G "Unix Makefiles" -Duse_openssl:bool=ON -Duse_default_uuid:bool=ON  -Duse_builtin_httpapi:bool=ON  -Dskip_samples:bool=ON -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
      CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:4 (cmake_minimum_required):
        Compatibility with CMake < 3.10 will be removed from a future version of
        CMake.

        Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
        to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
        to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
