Description of PR

Loosen the pinning of xlrd. The pin isn't needed and it's causing issues for downstream users (e.g. attempts to make openscm-runner a conda package conda-forge/staged-recipes#15573 (comment)). It would be great if these changes could be propagated to conda and pypi fairly quickly as a bug fix.

This seems to not work with xlrd==2.0.0 - maybe require xlrd>=2.0.1 instead?
