Provide binary wheels on PyPI

[tabbyrobin]

It would be nice if binary wheels were available on PyPI, so that the package can be installed without needing a C compiler available.

I have created a rough script that builds an array of wheels. It should build them bit-for-bit reproducibly. It uses cibuildwheel, python-stripzip, Docker and uv.

The script is available as a gist. I'm not convinced this script is ideal; but it is a working prototype.

On my setup, building all 42 wheels locally takes about 15 minutes for a fresh start. (~8 minutes if you have already downloaded all Docker images.)

When I build them, these are the checksums I get:
