Failed Cython compilation (Cython > 3.0)

Hi,

From #1056816, there is one Cython > 3.0 has one issue for mayavi. The build log is below:

Although use cython3-legacy which < 3.0 as a workaround, but I think the best way should be fixed fron upstream.

@prabhuramachandran this issue can be closed I think as this has been fixed:

https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/blob/db518f882c19b04c72d1be26f6a43bd0e611ee18/tvtk/src/array_ext.pyx#L63
