Impyla

------
* **Improvements**
- Add Knox cookies in default cookies list (525)
- Support CHAR type in SQLAlchemy (516)
- Support Cursor.rowcount and close finished queries (528)
Note that this is a potentially breaking change. See the PR
for details about the side-effects.
The old behavior can be restored by setting close_finished_queries=False
when creating a Cursor.
Also note that Cursor.rowcount only works with Impala server - with
Hive it will always return -1.

* **Bug Fixes**
- Fix https connection with Python 3.12 (531)
Note that Python 3.12 support is not complete yet.
A known issue is that installing with setuptools fails with Python 3.12.
