New Cython files for Python 3.10, 3.11 & v0.57? about mpf-mc

I will see if I can get the Windows MC builds to work properly, although it may take me a couple of weeks

I added the .c files back and hardcoded Cython to 0.29.21 (which should not matter since the .c files are there now, so I think Cython doesn't even run).

The build is working for Python 3.8 and 3.9 across all three platforms. (Here's the latest run showing this.) As I said before, I think this makes sense because Cython 0.29.21 only has wheels up through 3.9 so I assume it doesn't support 3.10 or newer. (Even though Cython isn't running here, I assume something in the .c files it generates isn't compatible with Python 3.10+.)

So, we have MPF MC 0.57 technically running now. Yay! But just Python 3.8 and 3.9, and on my local machine (x86 mac) I do not actually have audio. (Based on the mc_demo.) The MC runs fine, no crashing or errors, just no sound.

So it seems the game plan should be something like:

• Get a newer version of Cython to generate newer .c files
• Get the wheel building process to actually compile those
• Run a test and make sure sound is really happening

Again I'm probably done with this unless someone has a suggestion of what to try next.

I got Cython building for Python 3.10 and 3.11. The way I did it was on my x86 Mac. I manually installed the build-system requires modules and then manually ran python3.9 setup.py build_ext --inplace to generate the .c files. This worked fine for 0.29.21, so I updated Cython to 0.29.36 (which also supports Python 3.10 and 3.11), deleted the .c files, ran it again, and it worked fine. I committed those .c files and all the builds worked too. (that was dev 4)

(I had forgotten that even though the setup is pyproject.toml now, Cython still requires a setup.py for its stuff.)

The audio still does not seem to work. I'm getting a bunch of failing tests so I'll go through those, maybe that will fix it. I'm going to keep this issue open for now.

I'm going to close this since it seems to be working. Audio is maybe not working across all platforms? I'll start a new issue to track that. It seems to work fine for some, and not others, so it might be related to whether the prereqs are successfully installing and/or other versions of products installed.
