Python 3.6 installation stopped working

There seem to have been upstream changes recently that prevent our usual deployments for Python version 3.6, with libgeos (which we need for shapely in ocrd_validators) being the culprit. See here for a CI failure example.

I'm not sure why our CircleCI does not even bother to use the make deps-ubuntu rule. But since it did work in the past, and still does for Python>=3.7, I wonder if we should just modify the test-python36 config to include an apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgeos-dev.

Ah, just found out this is not on our side: It was due to Shapely not uploading a binary wheel for 3.6 last time. But they have just fixed that with release 1.8.5.post1.
