Simplify extension setup.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 68274498b352 · 2019-02-27T11:31:20.000+01:00
setupext currently has a complex machinery to define extension modules.
Essentially, the problem is that numpy may not be installed at the time
the extensions are declared, so we can't call np.get_include() to get
the include paths.  So we use a DelayedExtension class and a hook
mechanism to inject the numpy include path later, once it becomes
available.

Instead, we can just declare a dummy extension (so that setuptools
doesn't elide the call to build_ext), then swap in the correct
extensions in build_ext.finalize_options(): at that point, numpy will
have been installed and we don't need any crazy machinery.
