[Python] create manylinux wheels for python3.8

[asfimport]

There are currently no wheels available in pypi for python3.8. This means it's not possible to install later versions of arrow from pypi as the latest uploaded source release is 0.14.0.

It would also be useful to upload source releases to pypi...

[~sjhewitt]  Please have a look at the code and make a PR. It could be simple to add Python 3.8 but there is currently no maintanence of the wheel build setup happening.

Also source tarballs won't work in your case as they are missing the C++ libraries.
