[PySide] Qt for Python release: 6.8.0.2 is released!

[Cristián Maureira-Fredes]

Hello everyone,

After the previous release, we noticed a couple of issues on the meta 
information of the new wheels, so we took the opportunity to gather
other set of issues reported by you, and release 6.8.0.2

The changes were

* Fixing a couple of yocto build issues related to reproducible builds.
* Amend the pyi stubs in order to be more compatible with mypy
* Improve the Lazy Subtypes in star imports	
* Fix condition to allow 3.13 for wheel installation	
* Fix error handling in non-slot connection receivers

We didn't want to make you wait until 6.8.1 which is expected
for the end of November, so we hope these changes can unblock
your work, and you can enjoy 6.8!

Cheers!
