Multiple updates to metatomic integration
Description
Fix #1337 and update the code to work with the latest releases and use the latest utilities.
The main change is added support for multiple variants of the same output in one model, i.e. having a single file that can produce any of features/soap, features/dihedral, features/my_custom_thing, and pick one at runtime.
Target release
I would like my code to appear in the next patch release for v2.10

Can I update the Python version in CI from 3.9 to 3.10? 3.9 is EOL since October 2025.

I would prefer to do that in an ad hoc PR @GiovanniBussi @gtribello maybe we should also move the requisites for the various pip packages in some explicit requirements file?
Sure, I can do the update in a separate PR.
