Release example bmi on PyPI

[BSchilperoort]

If this example implementation is available on PyPI it can more easily be used in, for example;

1. tests in other packages that build upon BMI*
2. JupyterLite notebooks (see Provide Python wheels bmi-python#60: don't forget to publish wheels too).

*in grpc4bmi we need an extra requirements file because this gh repo cannot be refered to in the pyproject.toml file.

I've been thinking about this over the years. I hesitated because I felt it wasn't appropriate to package an example (instead of a library) for distribution. These use cases might be enough to change my mind. What do you think, @mcflugen?

We could also consider packaging the C, C++, Fortran, and Python examples on conda-forge.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Maybe we could even include the C, and C++ (and, possibly, fortran) examples in the distribution on PyPI.

The downside of that would be that you need to compile that per platform & per architecture. Just publishing the Python example case is a lot simpler (and will work everywhere).

For sure. We do that with some other projects and it is a bit of a pain, but not too bad. I'm not sure if it would be worth it in this case, though.

We'd build conda packages for all the language examples + a PyPI package for the Python example.
