Subject: [PATCH] gguf-py : bump sentencepiece version (#19319)

* gguf-py: Bump sentencepiece version

There's a new version that's been out for a while that addresses the issues mentioned in https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/14200. There's a long chain of reasons I would like this change, but the short version is that it allows people who use both `sentencepiece` and `gguf` to take advantage of these fixes. On conda-forge, currently, it locks the version (since there is no notion of optional dependencies).

Regardless, I don't think this should be too controversial.
