Python 3.13.0b1: test run fails, because: AttributeError: module 'unittest' has no attribute 'makeSuite' #1166
Description
When building PyTables for Fedora Linux with Python 3.13.0b1, we can't run the test suite.
'makeSuite' has been removed from Python 3.13, see: https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#unittest
+ /usr/bin/python3 -m tables.tests.test_all -v

Performing only a light (yet comprehensive) subset of the test suite.
If you want a more complete test, try passing the --heavy flag to this script
(or set the 'heavy' parameter in case you are using tables.test() call).
The whole suite will take more than 4 hours to complete on a relatively
modern CPU and around 512 MB of main memory.
