Removal of 'm' flag from tag in Python 3.8 #180

@rdb

Description

@rdb

Python 3.8 removes the existence of the m ABI flag:
https://bugs.python.org/issue36707
https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.8.html#build-and-c-api-changes

Changes are needed in packaging.tags for platforms that do not define SOABI in the configuration. Linux and macOS wheels already are built without the m suffix. On Windows, pip fails to install binary wheels with the following error:

ERROR: mypackage-1.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Fixing this is required to support installing binary Windows wheels in Python 3.8.
