Continuing the analysis from #252, #237, #227 & #196. Should not be merged for the same reasons as #227.

Update for numpy 1.23

After being all green for 1.22.3, we're still all green for 1.23.0 🥳 (with some small caveats below)

Notable

• Tried running PPC on azure again (due to new QEMU release), but still running into problems (see Switch PPC to cross-compilation & testing in emulation #274). Opened an upstream issue.
• Added (most) optional test dependencies in numpy 1.23.0 #272 (discussion) - now covering even more tests.

Restrictions

• ppc64le and pypy-on-aarch only run tests with label='fast', not the full test suite
• the following test skips:

# https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15243
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_loss_of_precision[complex256]" %}  # [ppc64le]
# Sometimes crashes on travis (needs too much memory); since 1.22.4 it fails for pypy
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_large_archive" %}                  # [(CI == "travis") or ((python_impl == "pypy") and linux)]
# there are some tests that cannot really work in emulation, see e.g. numpy/numpy#20445
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or Test_ARM_Features" %}                   # [build_platform != target_platform]
# test_new_policy reruns part of test suite; including a CPU feature test that fails in emulation
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_new_policy" %}                     # [build_platform != target_platform]
# flaky refcount-based test; already skipped upstream for win+py39
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_partial_iteration_cleanup" %}      # [osx]

linux + ppc (on azure)	test failures due to emulation problems	same (see #274 & here)

Update for numpy 1.23.5

After being all green for 1.23.0, we're still all green for 1.23.5 🥳 (with some small caveats below)

Notable

• It looks like the new QEMU 7.2.0 might have finally solved our emulation problems with PPC (see Switch PPC to cross-compilation & testing in emulation #274), and thus the flakiness of Travis. 🤩 🥳 🚀
  Xref also this issue.

Restrictions

• ppc64le and pypy-on-aarch only run tests with label='fast', not the full test suite
• the following test skips:

# https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15243
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_loss_of_precision[complex256]" %}  # [ppc64le]
# Sometimes crashes on travis (needs too much memory); since 1.22.4 it fails for pypy
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_large_archive" %}                  # [(CI == "travis") or ((python_impl == "pypy") and linux)]
# there are some tests that cannot really work in emulation, see e.g. numpy/numpy#20445
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or Test_ARM_Features" %}                   # [build_platform != target_platform]
# test_new_policy reruns part of test suite; including a CPU feature test that fails in emulation
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_new_policy" %}                     # [build_platform != target_platform]
# flaky refcount-based test; already skipped upstream for win+py39
{% set tests_to_skip = tests_to_skip + " or test_partial_iteration_cleanup" %}      # [osx]
