Add test to check older pickles continue to unpickle in future #113

Closed ChrisJefferson closed 1 year ago

This adds a test that we can un-pickle pickles made with the current version of IO in the future. I feel we do claim this should work, but there was no test for it.

We could hypothetically add more tests like this, but this is at least a start, and a check for future.

The macos test fails (see issue #105), but this is not caused by this PR so I'll merge anyway.
