Python 3.12 support

I tested borgbackup with Python 3.12 prerelease there:
Py312 github CI run is there:
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/actions/runs/5210974256/jobs/9402730199
Besides the ton of warnings, it was successful except that it noticed that borg uses "slow msgpack" (the pure python fallback implementation inside msgpack, not the compiled C implementation).
Python 3.12 release is expected some time later this year, maybe october, but I guess it would be nice to have a compatible msgpack package on pypi early, so it can get some pre-release testing.
The pure-python code seems to work (as expected), but I guess the C and Cython code might be more interesting. For borg, we needed to use either the latest 0.29.x or 3.0.x Cython releases to get Py312 compatible code.
I will release 1.1 before 3.12 become RC.

BTW, Cython 3.0.2 is released, too.
Maybe we could have a py312 compatible pypi package with the quick and easy part of that milestone and shift some of the optional stuff that might take longer to 1.1.1?

So, msgpack 1.0.6rc1 got some testing there with python 3.12, looks good!
Guess we can close this ticket, once 1.0.6 is out.
I released 1.0.6 now.
