0.54.1 regressions

#7354 - Clarify development instructions regarding llvmlite dev releases
#7353 - Implement np.ascontiguousarray for Numba scalars
#7352 - Sandbox numba
#7350 - Vectorize with target parallel silently swallows exceptions
- Perhaps this should be defined as the expected behavior
- (Additionally too for parallel=True?)
#7344 - incoherent behaviour with prange
#7343 - Numba's object mode processing closure failed
- Not a regression
#7342 - CUDA implicit copy warnings do not fire for guvectorize
#7341 - Performance measurement helpers and examples
#7339 - Numba 0.54 only works with numpy>=1.20
- New wheels produced and tested, seem to work, so should replace the wheels on PyPI.
#7338 - Incorrectly typed as literal when variable maybe undefined.
#7337 - Test failure due to non-ascii in stdout

#7351 - TypingError: Failed in nopython mode pipeline (step: nopython frontend) Unknown attribute 'File' of type Module(<module 'laspy.file' from 'C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda3\\envs\\geofabrics3\\lib\\site-packages\\laspy\\file.py'>)

#7349 - Allow arbitrary walk-back in reduction nodes to find inplace_binop.
#7348 - test_inspect_cli: Decode exception with default (utf-8) codec
#7347 - fix:updated url for error report and feature rquest using issue template
#7345 - Add check for ipykernel file in IPython cache locator
#7340 - Add size_t and ssize_t types

Request for 0.55
- broadcast_to https://github.com/numba/numba/pull/7119
  - driven by need for vectorize support in aesara
  - Now merged
