Update `lxml` to 4.6.4 or higher (missing wheels for Python 3.10) #16

Hi!

I came here from the Microsoft IoT course. I wanted to use a virtual device, but installing CounterFit fails with the following error:

*********************************************************************************
Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?
*********************************************************************************

Before that I had a missing Visual Studio build tools error, I downloaded them, but now the error above occurs.

After some research I found out that lxml==4.6.3 tries to install lxml from source - https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4100#issuecomment-945180777 The same issue discussion also says that lxml==4.6.4 fixes this problem - https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4100#issuecomment-958599725

Could you please update lxml in setup.py, so that it's possible to install CounterFit without compiling lxml from source?

Thanks in advance 😄
