Consider building abi3 wheels about tantivy-py HOT 6 OPEN

fyi @wallies - since we're planning on a new release soon anyway maybe now is a good time to do this.

Had a look. Sadly, PyDateTime for now is not supported in the limited ABI and we use it in document.rs.

Indeed @Tpt contributed a fully abi3-compatible variant of PyO3's chrono integration feature which means that it can be used for these builds with only a slight performance degradation using exactly the same Rust-side API.

It's a good idea, we should do this.

@cjrh, @wallies, would you mind joining the #tantivy-py channel on the Quickwit Discord server. There have been many questions regarding tantivy-py on the server lately, and we thought you'd be interested in those conversations.

Apparently there is some kind of fallback support for datetime described in this PR: PyO3/pyo3#3633. I need to look at it but perhaps there's a path for us.
