Description

Because there is no auditwheel/delocate alternative for windows and there are still some problems collecting libs like https://github.com/matthew-brett/delocate/issues/62

Maybe it is good idea to allow run test on separate instance? Then cibuildwheel will look to wheelhouse and install wheel instead of build them.

@joerick @YannickJadoul What do you think about this?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current test execution flow in cibuildwheel, particularly how wheels are built and tested. Explore how to implement an option to skip building and instead fetch pre built wheels from a configured wheelhouse. Look at existing mechanisms for wheel storage and retrieval, possibly using a CI cache or external service.
