BLD: enabled negation of library choices in NPY_*_ORDER (#17219)
BLD: enabled negation of library choices in NPY_*_ORDER
When users build for a particular order it may be beneficial
to disallow certain libraries.
In particular a user may not care about which accelerated
BLAS library is used, so long as the NetLIB or ATLAS library isn't used.
This is now possible with:
NPY_BLAS_ORDER='^blas,atlas'
or
NPY_BLAS_ORDER='!blas,atlas'
Since we may envision more BLAS/LAPACK libraries to the pool, this
will provide greater flexibility as they enter.
A new (local) method is added in system_info.py which removes duplicate
code and allows for easier usage across libraries.
