MNT: Consider replacing boa with rattler-build #153

Description

@tangkong

It came to my attention that boa has been deprecated/archived, superseded by rattler-build

Rattler-build is apparently written in rust and promises to be yet faster than boa. It should be a drop-in replacement for boa, in theory.

The recipe format is actually significantly different. They seem to have good motivations behind their changes, and conda-forge recently adopted it as its v1 format. This comes with the caveat that not all of their infrastructure supports the new format yet.

Moving forward they suggest recipes follow the rattler-build format, particularly for pure-python noarch packages
