'Warn about PyPy being unmaintained'

Source: Hacker News

Summary

It seems that PyPy is not being actively developed anymore and is phased out even by NumPy (numpy/numpy#30416).
There’s no official statement from the project, but the NumPy issue is from a PyPy developer.
I added a warning to avoid users assuming PyPy is a properly supported and developed Python distribution.
