[issue39298] add BLAKE3 to hashlib

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

GH-31686 is a massive patch set. I'm feeling uncomfortable adding such much new code for a new hashing algorithm. Did you ask the Steering Council for approval?

The platform detection and compiler flag logic must be added to configure.ac instead of setup.py. Erlend and I are in the process of making setup.py optional. I plan to remove it entirely along with distutils in 3.12.
