python312Packages.taichi: init at 1.7.2

[arunoruto]

Packaging taichi from PyPI with CUDA, Vulkan, and OpenGL support. I used jaxlib-bin as an inspiration on how to package taichi from PyPI, and in the future the default library should point to a build compiled from source.

Problems:

1. When running ti example and selecting, for example, 16, i.e., fractal3d_ggui, it crashes with the following response:

Running example fractal3d_ggui ...
[Taichi] Starting on arch=vulkan
RHI Error: (2) vkAcquireNextImageKHR failed
python3.12: /home/dev/taichi/taichi/rhi/vulkan/vulkan_device.cpp:2808: virtual taichi::lang::StreamSemaphore taichi::lang::vulkan::VulkanSurface::acquire_next_image(): Assertion `false && "Error without return code"' failed.
fish: Job 1, 'ti example' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

Continuation of #233365
Closes #143181

TODO:

• Test on Nvidia machine
• Include hashes for 3.11 and x86/arm darwin systems
• Fix RHI Error: (2) vkAcquireNextImageKHR failed if vulkan is set as arch
• Find out how to enable amdgpu support using ROCm, i.e., which library needs to be added It seems like the package needs to be built using llvm from ROCm according to this issue -> not meant for this release

I just managed to build taichi from source, so I am closing this PR in favour of a from source build!
