Upgrade pandas to 1.4 to fix pandas binary incompatibility with numpy

[jlewi]

When I install tensorflow-federated I end up with incompatible builds of numpy and pandas. Here's the main error from the stacktrace (full stack trace below).

    from pandas._libs.interval import Interval
  File "pandas/_libs/interval.pyx", line 1, in init pandas._libs.interval
ValueError: numpy.ndarray size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject

Based on this Stack Overflow post it looks like there is a problem in the way pandas is getting built and pandas is being built against a version of numpy which is different from the installed version of numpy.

I was able to resolve the issue just by installing a newer version of pandas.

pip install --upgrade pandas~=1.4.3

I think this may solve the problem because newer versions of pandas have wheel's available and don't require compiling from source.

Given pandas 1.1.4 is almost 2 years old. Would it be reasonable to upgrade the version of pandas in tensorflow/privacy?

It looks like pandas is only used in a couple places. https://github.com/tensorflow/privacy/search?q=pandas

The usage of pandas seems pretty straightforward and seems like low risk to an upgrade.
