Subject: [PATCH] `setup.py`: fix version parsing on Python 3.14 (ast.Str
 removed)

Python 3.14 removes the ast.Str node type. String literals now appear
as ast.Constant(value=str).
Update the AST check to accept both ast.Str (for older Pythons) and
ast.Constant with a string value (for Python 3.8+), allowing html5lib to
build successfully on Python 3.14 while remaining compatible with older
version.
