[Biopython] Biopython 1.75 plans

[Peter Cock]

Wheels for Linux & macOS done for Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 but
not yet 3.8 (I'm missing something in the build setup I think), but not
both unicode width flavours of Python 2.7 (looks like a corner case
in the new align code fails, will have to fix for the next release).

Wheels for Windows are in hand - there can be a long wait for the
AppVeyor system, and I've had to disable one of the new align code
Tutorial doctests (likely a floating point difference or similar).

And in typical timing, given this should be our first release to officially
support Python 3.8, someone reported a new Python 3.8 regression:
