feat: add CIBUILDWHEEL_BUILD_IDENTIFIER environment variable (#2872)

* feat: add CIBUILDWHEEL_BUILD_IDENTIFIER environment variable

Set `CIBUILDWHEEL_BUILD_IDENTIFIER` to the current build identifier
(e.g. `cp311-manylinux_x86_64`) in the environment for all per-build
steps: `before_build`, the build itself, `repair_command`,
`before_test`, and `test_command`.

This allows scripts and commands to inspect which build is currently
running, which is useful for e.g. writing per-build output files:

    CIBW_TEST_COMMAND='pytest --junit-xml=results-$CIBUILDWHEEL_BUILD_IDENTIFIER.xml'

The variable is set after the user's environment overrides are applied
and is only available for per-build steps (not `before_all`, where no
single identifier applies). All six platforms are covered: linux, macOS,
Windows, pyodide, Android, and iOS.

Closes #944, closes #2750
