Packages that can be noarch

By dropping support for python<3.8 or by using noarch_platforms as in https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/pull/1839

Here we collect some packages. PRs are welcome to help

Harder ones

• pytest (by making two noarch packages. One for py<311 and one for py>=311) https://github.com/conda-forge/pytest-feedstock/pull/156
• django (by adding a backports.zoneinfo empty package for py>=3.9) https://github.com/conda-forge/django-feedstock/pull/150
• zaber-motion

@jaimergp: Feedstocks that have a py{<,<=}3{6,7,8} selector without compiler dependencies, still not noarch and no python_impl mentions (cs.github.com query). Search results say 110+ feedstocks but you can only retrieve 100 at a time so here we are. Some of them might not apply for other reasons( could not review all of them).

org:conda-forge path:meta.yaml /pywin32\s+#\s+\[win/ NOT compiler NOT noarch: gives you 20 results for potential noarch packages that are not just because they require pywin32, but we could use the pywin32-on-windows metapackage instead!

Folks, how are we handling the old jupyter extensions that have a pre/post script?

Haven’t looked, but we can likely emit appropriate ${PREFIX}/share/jupyter and ${PREFIX}/etc/jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.d/<pkg_name>.json that would have the same effect as whatever the scripts were doing.
