[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] WIP: Use Python Stable ABI for the bindings (PR #2674)

[Panu Matilainen]

I think, if we go for the stable ABI we should then stick to it too, meaning simply cut off support for versions where not available. 

Requiring Python >= 3.7 is not a problem, I'm just curious as to what makes that particular version special. Cmake >= 3.26 is too new for us to require though, but this shouldn't be hard to do manually. Looking at the cmake's FindPython module, something like `target_compile_definitions(_rpm PRIVATE Py_LIMITED_API=x)` in python/CMakeLists.txt I suppose.  There's something about linking to a specific library too, but according to https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html that's a Windows-only thing.
