Use plyvel for the leveldb backend

Rationales:
- quickumls fails to install on Python 3.12 due to py-leveldb
- py-leveldb looks unmaintained and is unlikely to receive support for Python 3.12
- plyvel provides a suitable replacement and is compatible with Python 3.12 onwards

Closes Georgetown-IR-Lab#98
