Fix python packaging on release-2.2 branch (#4347)

* Fix python packaging CI failure

1. numba no longer provides binaries for intel macos.
  * pin old version of numba on macos intel jobs
  * skip macos-intel Python 13 smoke screen

2. linux aarch64 wheels are failing
  * remove skip for auto-downloading aarch64 tiledb binaries (legacy
    from when these weren't yet provided)

* Update .github/workflows/python-packaging.yml
