Missing win-32bit packages on pip (pypi) for python 3.9/3.10

[crash5]

Hi,

are the 32bit packages intentionally missing from the PyPI database? (https://pypi.org/project/pyodbc/#files)

As I see the appveyor config in the repository includes the 32bit version pipelines. But the latest 32bit version for windows is for python 3.8.

I didn't realize the later versions even supported 32-bit Windows. I also didn't know that Windows 10 used to have a 32-bit version. (Apparently they recently stopped sending it to manufacturers, so I think it is near the end.)

I'll do some research into adding these to the CI builds. I'll also see if Github suports everything we need now and if we can drop AppVeyor completely.

We'll want to update the setup.py for 3.8:

It appears so:

pyodbc/.github/workflows/ubuntu_build.yml

Lines 210 to 211 in b7e944a

	# disable 32-bit and pypy builds
	CIBW_SKIP: "*-win32 *-manylinux_i686 pp*"

As a workaround, at least for now, a limited assortment of 32-bit Windows wheels are available from
