Normally a project would use the latest ABI version supported by the particular version of SIP being used thereby having the latest features and bug-fixes. However a Linux distro (for example) may prefer to exert more control over the ABI being used in order to reduce the inter-dependence between SIP and projects using it. The only way to do this at the moment is to patch pyproject.toml.

An --abi-version command line option will be added to the SIP build tools to allow the ABI to be specified without needing to patch pyproject.toml. It is intended that, in future, a project will never specify abi-version in pyproject.toml and the command line option is used as required.

The abi-version entry in pyproject.toml is documented as specifying the minimum ABI version required by the project. However as there is no other place in the build system to specify a different ABI version then, in reality, it is also the actual ABI to be used. Therefore the documentation will be clarified to state that abi-version specifies the actual ABI version to be used.

The `--abi-version` command line option has been added to `sip-build`,
`sip-install` and `sip-wheel` to specify the ABI version of the `sip`
module to generate code for.
