[Biopython] Biopython 1.71 release plans

[Peter Cock]

I'm out of time to finish the release today, but it is tagged on github:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/tree/biopython-171
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/8491a1443f2704ee102d9db6fcc10125cb3559fc

Tar-ball and zip are here for the adventurous to test now
(before the PyPI upload which will hopefully be tomorrow,
and then the conda-forge recipe update etc to follow):
