[Numpy-discussion] ARMv8 / shippable addition to CI

[Tyler Reddy]

Hi,

Stefan & Matti wanted me to check on the mailing list about about adding
ARMv8 (free / shippable service) to NumPy CI on github -- is anyone opposed
to that?

Only obvious drawback seems to be that the service sometimes seems a little
unreliable, not that this is new to us; guess we could just turn it off if
so.

The issue with progress: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/11702

All NumPy tests pass (regular not --full suite anyway) on Python 2.7 / 3.7
in 9 minutes if we cache the Cython build:
https://app.shippable.com/github/tylerjereddy/numpy/runs/56/summary/console

If we move forward: I've been testing on a personal branch so that I didn't
have to act on behalf of NumPy officially--does someone on the steering
council want to set up an official NumPy shippable account & ask them for
access (I think I had to push a button / send an email for ARMv8
specifically).

I can open a PR to NumPy proper if this is generally +1 now.

Tyler
