`LinearAlgebra.BLAS.vendor()` has been deprecated

[samuela]

It looks like the vendor() function is deprecated in the following line of code:

https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/blob/9a084eb47c7176242893dd18a1782a1114cef02c/src/numpy.jl#L67

julia> import PyCall; PyCall.pyimport("jax").numpy.array([1.0])
┌ Warning: `vendor()` is deprecated, use `BLAS.get_config()` and inspect the output instead
│   caller = npyinitialize() at numpy.jl:67
└ @ PyCall ~/.julia/dev/PyCall/src/numpy.jl:67
...

I'm on python 3.9.9, numpy 1.21.4, Julia 1.7.1, and [438e738f] PyCall v1.93.0. This is running on NixOS 21.11.

The comment here suggests that vendor() has been removed since multiple vendors can be loaded simultaneously. Furthermore the vendor() function only ever returns :openblas or :openblas64, so I think the whole if block here https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/blob/9a084eb47c7176242893dd18a1782a1114cef02c/src/numpy.jl#L67-L76 can be removed.

I am getting a similar warning message while using PyCall v1.93.0 on Julia 1.7.

Despite of this warning, I am able to get the job done without any trouble.
