Packaging is preparing for a new release (see pypa/packaging#1063), so I want to run the CI to check if everything is going to be OK...

The assumptions are the following:

• Setuptools uses sys.path.extend to add the _vendor folder to the path...
• So this should mean that it goes after the regular path
• Any other package already existing in the regular path will be loaded from there, not from _vendor.
• By adding packaging>=26.0rc3 to the tests dependency, we ensure that packaging==26.0rc3 is loaded from the the regular site-packages (not from the _vendor folder)
• This should be enough to test against the newer version of packaging instead of the vendored one...

PyPy has been very unstable lately...

Anyway, it seems to me that the code is compatible with the upcoming release of packaging.
