This PR allows skipping the testing pipeline on the latest supported Python version.
Under Linux, this will simply not test under that version, but all other supported versions.
Under macOS and Windows, it will test on the minimal supported version and the second latest version supported.
This is especially helpful when new Python versions are released and the ecosystem takes some time to settle and provide wheels for the new version.
The intention would be to enable the
skip-testing-latest-python
flag once a new Python version is released to get our own wheel builds out as soon as possible.Ideally immediately after that, a follow-up PR (along with a tracking issue) can be created that disables the flag again and that helps to keep track of the progress towards fully supporting new Python versions.
