BLD Uses cibuildwheel for linux + osx wheels [cd build]

I really need to look up PowerShell syntax.

Also fix some bashisms in a couple of scripts.

Fixes gh-17467. Adds a public struct to hold memory manipulation routines PyDataMem_Handler and two new API functions PyDataMem_SetHandler to replace the current routines with the new ones, and PyDataMem_GetHandlerName to get the string name of the current routines (either globally or for a specific ndarray object). This also changes the size of the ndarray object to hold the PyDataMem_Handler active when it was created so subsequent actions on its data memory will remain consistent.

Tests and documentation are included. Along the way, I found some places in the code where the current policy is inconsistent (all data memory handling should have gone through npy_*_cache not PyDataMem_*) so even if this is rejected it might improve the cache handling.

The PyDataMem_Handler has fields to override memcpy, these are currently not implemented: memcpy in the code base is untouched. I think this PR is invasive enough as-is, if desired memcpy can be handled in a follow-up PR.

This is analogous to what SciPy does.
