[Biopython] Biopython 1.73 release plans

[Peter Cock]

So far so good, release tagged and tar-ball on PyPI,
along with Mac and Linux wheels:

https://pypi.org/project/biopython/1.73/

Windows wheels underway, will need some tweaking
for Python 3.7 which we didn't have last time round.

This time no last minute surprises from epydoc, just from
latex - currently neither of these steps is under continuous
integration. Both tools are a bit of a pain to install on a
modern system, and would add to the TravisCI load.
