Build failure on CPython 3.13t (disabled GIL): would build wheel with unsupported tag #813
Description
CPython 3.13 has added the --disable-gil build option for disabling the global interpreter lock. This introduces some ABI changes and therefore adds the t (threading) ABI flag until those changes become the default in upcoming CPython releases.
This ABI flag unfortunately breaks building pycryptodome wheels in this kind of environment.

$ python3.13 -c 'import sys;print(f"{sys.version_info=}\n{sys.abiflags=}")'
sys.version_info=sys.version_info(major=3, minor=13, micro=0, releaselevel='beta', serial=2)
sys.abiflags='t'
AssertionError: would build wheel with unsupported tag ('cp35', 'abi3', 'linux_x86_64')
The issue appears to be the py-limited-api bdist_wheel configuration:
- https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/blob/v3.20.0/setup.cfg#L9-L10
- https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/0.43.0/src/wheel/bdist_wheel.py#L218
