Intent to retire python-blist, but it's "apparently" being used by python-ujson

[Michel Alexandre Salim]

Hi all,

python-blist currently does not build against Python 3.9:

and worryingly, even the patch we use for Python 3.7 compatibility has 
not been merged after two years; upstream seems to be totally dead:

   https://github.com/DanielStutzbach/blist/pull/78

As such I'm leaning towards retiring this package, except that a check 
on what requires it is a bit worrying (ujson requires it, and in turn 
many packages depend on ujson).

Interestingly, the upstream ujson repo does not seem to mention blist at 
all, so maybe its addition as a build requirement was just a mistake and 
we can unentangle the two:
