Python 3.12

[esc]

This ticket tracks overall progress of Python 3.12 support for Numba.

A numba-hatchery based build using the python docker container is here:

numba/numba-hatchery#6

A miniconda based variant of the hatchery is now here: numba/numba-hatchery#7 -- @kc611 @sklam @stuartarchibald and I are using this to port Numba to 3.12. I have begun to start collecting patches in my branch:

https://github.com/esc/numba/commits/py312

Note that this branch is still very much subject to frequent rebases, so do bear that in mind should you base anything off of it.

For those wondering about our timeline. A significant portion of the tests is working already and we are continuing to solve the issues we encounter from running the test-suite. At this stage things are looking OK, but Numba will not compatible from day 1 of the 3.12 release. As with 3.10 and 3.11 a Numba release supporting 3.12 will become available some time after the official release of 3.12.

Yes, it's coming, soon. As of today, we are at around 98% of the test-suite passing and have roughly 100 failing tests left to fix.
