Functionality for wheel_download now migrated to status cookie, next to be wheel_compile then wheel_install which shouldn't be too long by the look of things.

@th0ma7 it would be convenient having a wheelclean-% target to rebuilt a specific wheel like:

make wheelclean-numpy-1.26.4

just my 5 cents 🪙

@hgy59 make wheelclean-<wheel>-<version> functionality added. Also the code is now fully migrated to using status cookies for all wheel builds which should have a significant impact on build time (if not from a github-action it will from a debugging and testing perspective).

If you have a moment to test things up would be great. Similarly to crossenv I've now added a make wheel-<arch>-<tcversion> call. It can be extended to:

make WHEELS="<name>-<version>" wheel-<arch>-<tcversion>

This will add that "wheel" to the list of wheels to process. Noting that Makefile first WHEELS entry, if using = instead of += will discard argument passed in parameter. Although for the sake of testing, commenting out WHEELS entries from your makefile will allow you to test-build a wheel you are struggling with. So the following should help a bit for testing and debugging purpose:

make wheelclean-<name>-<version>
make wheelcleancache
make WHEELS="<name>-<version>" wheel-<arch>-<tcversion>

I'm sure there will be a few rough-edges and missing is the ability to download only for using with github-action (next on my TODO).

I believe this is now ready for merging (conditional to github-action green flags + disabling package bumped verions)
