_register_styles() fails because mpl.style.core.read_style_directory() is deprecated #129

Description

@razimantv

matplotlib 3.11.0 has deprecated matplotlib.style.core, and removed read_style_directory() without replacement.

As a result, import catpuccin fails with

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
