fix: make compatible with towncrier>=24.7

towncrier 24.7 changed the way that its find_fragments() function works
to accept a Config dataclass instead of specific components of the
config. This commit adds a new version of lookup_towncrier_fragments()
to use the new API and chooses which one to use based on the version
of towncrier obtained from importlib.metadata. It also slightly
changes the way that towncrier config can be obtained: the previous
get_towncrier_config() function (which returned a dict) is now renamed
as get_towncrier_config_as_dict() and get_towncrier_config() returns
the new Config dataclass object for towncrier versions above 22.12.0rc1
and raises NotImplementedError for older versions. This API change
should be ok as get_towncrier_config() was only called in one place
before.
