Merge tag '25.1.0'

25.1.0 (October 21, 2025)

New feature release in the 25.1 series.

This release introduces a new ``TemplateFlowClient`` class that provides the
functionality previously exposed in ``templateflow.api``.
``templateflow.api`` is now a thin wrapper around a global instance of ``TemplateFlowClient``,
so existing code using ``templateflow.api`` should continue to work as before.

These changes allow multiple independent clients to coexist in the same Python process,
as well as defer loading of data from the filesystem until it is requested,
significantly improving import time.

* RF: Factor TemplateFlow into Cache and Client classes (#149)
* FIX: Error on missing S3 files, do not write error data to disk (#148)
