ENH: do not check extension module file name against expected suffix

dnicolodi · dnicolodi · commit 3678a77a7b62 · 2023-03-01T11:55:49.000+01:00
Checking that the extensions modules filenames end with a suffix accepted by the current Python interpreter assumes that the wheel being assembled is for the same Python platform. This is not true when cross-compiling. The check protects against a very unlikely occurrence and makes life harder for tools that allow cross-compiling Python wheels. Remove it. See #321.
