Request: Build PyQt6-Qt6 Linux wheels as manylinux1

[Francois Dion]

Thanks Carlos for pointing that out. Hadn't gotten to the linux testing yet
in going from pyqt5 to pyqt6. That's one curveball I'll have to address. I
checked as an alternative https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyqt/files but
there is no pyqt6 available at all.
