Switch to py3-none-*

[mdavidsaver]

I notice that PyQt on pypi.org has split out the Qt c++ libraries as PyQt6-Qt6 where the wheel files have py3-none-* tags instead of interpreter specific cp*-cp*-* tags. So they can upload only 4 of these large wheel files per release, as opposed to ~30 files currently uploaded for epicscorelibs.

Need to investigate when pip started supporting tags like py3-none-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.

Apparently support for py2-none-manylinux1_x86_64 and py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64 go way back. At least circa RHEL7, which is ancient enough for me.

Theoretically epicscorelibs could get by with

• py2-none-manylinux1_x86_64
• py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64
• py3-none-manylinux2010_x86_64
• py3-none-manylinux2014_x86_64
• py2-none-macosx_10_9_intel
• py3-none-macosx_10_9_intel
• py3-none-win_amd64

The next question is about dependency resolution. Would PIP install eg. p4p with cp36-cp36m-manylinux2010_x86_64 and epicscorelibs with py3-none-manylinux2014_x86_64? (mixing manylinux 2010 and 2014 ABIs)
