[Biopython] Biopython 1.75 plans

[Peter Cock]

Progress on the Python 3.8 wheels, they built  but sadly yes, we have a test
failure in SubsMat:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/2325

Might have to do another (point or patch) release to include Python 3.8
support, or just build the Python 3.8 wheels from a slightly later commit?
