Wheels for WASM

[FrancescAlted]

I did some attempt at creating wheels for WASM, and had some (mixed) experiences with Pyodide and scikit-build-core:

1. Pyodide needs version 0.23.4 (latest 0.24.1 does not work: Make build not working pyodide/pyodide#4287)

2. CMake config in python-blosc2 needs a bit of modification in order to run (see attached patch).

3. The included zlib-ng codec has issues with WASM compiler, so it has been removed from the list of codecs here.

4. Some packages (notably py-cpuinfo) are not available in Pyodide repos.

5. Some tests are passing, but others do not. E.g.:

$ python -m pytest tests/test_compress2.py

I don't think fixing these should be terribly complicated, but I don't have more time now. I am attaching my modifications here in case someone else would want to continue this effort.

pyodide-python-blosc2.patch

Hi @FrancescAlted, I stumbled into this issue from pyodide/pyodide#4287 when I was triaging and going through the issue backlog – could you please try this with the latest version of Pyodide + pyodide-build version 0.29.2 if you have time? There is a chance we might have fixed most of the issues on the Pyodide build system's and on scikit-build-core's side here, and the latter tests for WASM targets. Plus, I also noted Blosc/c-blosc2#632, that is wonderful to see. Thanks!
