Python 3.13

[EwoutH]

Python 3.13 is well into the Beta phase and will be released in a few months. This means it's going to be heavily tested the next few months. It would be great if AppVeyor could add Python 3.13 to it's images, preferable ASAP (at least before the end of beta-phase).

• Ubuntu images
• Windows images
• macOS

Important milestones

• End of beta-phase, first release candidate: Tuesday 2024-07-30
• Stable Python 3.13.0 release: Tuesday 2024-10-01

@OwenMcDonnell the release candidate is next week, can you share any updates on the plan for 3.13?

I think we really want to avoid the disaster that 3.12 was (#3879).

Thanks for your disaster assessment @EwoutH!
New Ubuntu images with 3.13 are being created presently, after which new windows images will get some attention.
