[PyQt] New Set of Development Wheels for PyQt5 v5.6

Having read the PEP I don't think it's possible to produce a compliant 
PyQt wheel because of the additional libraries required by Qt. However I 
can produce a non-compliant one with the manylinux tag so that it will 
be handled by PyPI.

I assume that is better than nothing?
