try to fix CI by avoiding py312, take 2

[loriab]

Attempt to take the easy way out of #274 .

Sorry, I forgot GH edits would make branches on upstream, which isn't set up to avoid doubling the lanes with push/pull_request.

• edited GHA frontmatter so that WIP branches on upstream don't get CI tested until they become PRs
• from options on python 3.12 #274 (comment) , this PR skips testing pylibint2 on Mac in the Build/Repo job and instead relies on testing it twice in the Build/Export job, where python version is controlled by conda.

ADDED: ignore, unless you want to trace failed attempts.

nope, macos-12 still gives py312. macos-11 was working for 22 min to solve brew install (maybe could go back from [email protected] -> python3 and it would solve? brew swich has been removed. brew reinstall [email protected] ends with the below. homebrew rather seems to have gotten out of the flexible solve business, so it may not be of much use here to clobber system python.

Possibly one could use setup-python from GHA marketplace and then pip install numpy to get wheels. Or conda.

==> Caveats
Python has been installed as
  /usr/local/bin/python3

Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
  /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/libexec/bin

You can install Python packages with
  pip3 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
  /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages

tkinter is no longer included with this formula, but it is available separately:
  brew install [email protected]

gdbm (`dbm.gnu`) is no longer included in this formula, but it is available separately:
  brew install [email protected]
`dbm.ndbm` changed database backends in Homebrew Python 3.11.
If you need to read a database from a previous Homebrew Python created via `dbm.ndbm`,
you'll need to read your database using the older version of Homebrew Python and convert to another format.
`dbm` still defaults to `dbm.gnu` when it is installed.
