Now that Qiskit Aer 0.10.0 has been released that Qiskit no longer supports python 3.6 (in the lead up to adding support for python 3.10). This commit officially drops the support for python 3.6 and makes python 3.7 required to install qiskit-aer. It also removes all the ci jobs still using 3.6 both for testing and building wheels.
Done in the most recent revision. |

Oh wait, we probably need an update release note still. |

This commit removes all the environment variable usage for default configuration of cibuildwheel and switches to use the pyproject.toml to centralize the configuration for all the jobs. Environment variables are still used for per job custom overrides which don't really fit in the configuration of the pyproject.toml (mainly cross-build overrides and GPU configuration).
Newer versions of cibuildwheel support building musllinux wheels for musl libc based linux distros, such as alpine linux, in addition to manylinux wheels (which are not compatible with musl libc based linux distros and only work with glibc distros). The musllinux build environments are different and not centos based so builds fail in them. Since we're not supporting musl platforms in qiskit-aer we don't need to attempt to build wheels for that platform. This commit adds musllinux builds to the skip list in the common cibuildwheel configuration accordingly.

@hhorii: we can't drop support for a Python version in a patch release - this should wait for Aer 0.11. |
