PennyLaneAI/pennylane v0.44.1

Release 0.44.1

Bug fixes 🐛

• The gast package is now an explicit dependency in PennyLane. The gast package was previously
  pulled in transitively by diastatic-malt, but diastatic-malt==2.15.3 dropped gast as a dependency, which caused an error when importing PennyLane.
