Conda packaging (WIP)

[mara004]

Another consideration regarding the pdfium-binaries pin in pypdfium2_raw, which I'd like to record but not add as code comment due to the low significance:

One could think about allowing lower versions if headers did not change.
While this should be ABI-safe, the problem is that it'd render the version file invalid,
and pdfium does not embed version into binaries, so it's hard to determine dynamically.
Also, the benefit would be quite low since we probably can't programatically distinguish
additions and changes to pdfium's public API. (And even if we could, it would require
hasattr-guards to support older versions that lack new symbols, which is not very nice.)

I believe the packaging code is basically ready to be merged. CI's not done yet but we could do that in a follow-up PR.

Hi @adam-huganir (and @mkroutikov, @YinlinHu if interested),

as you can see, I'm planning to put pypdfium2 on anaconda. Would you please create an account at anaconda.org (and send me the name) so I can add you to the contributors?

Thanks!

Thanks; unfortunately it looks like I can't add members by mail address. Would you please tell me the public user name instead? You might have to set that up under Settings -> Public Profile first.
