Update docs for install, build and dev workflow #208

Closed oscarbenjamin closed 2 months ago

oscarbenjamin commented 2 months ago

Update the docs for installing. The setup page is split into two parts where the simple page just explains how to pip install python-flint and which versions of Python have binaries available.

The other page gives more complicated installation instructions for building from source including proper instructions for different old versions and which versions of Flint etc are supported by which versions of python-flint.

Add a new workflow page that explains how to use meson and spin for development and how to build and run tests etc.

Also add version checks for Cython in the meson build so that it will check the version when building without build isolation.

Docs updated so the new pages are:

These three are linked from the main page:

Let me know if anyone has any suggestions for improvement.
