Install fails with Cython 3.0.2

[dwfmarchant]

Looks like the install crashes with Cython 3 that was released last month. Downgrading to the previous Cython release (v0.29.35) fixes things.

I think it is the time to move to a more modern metadata and setup configuration format to avoid these issues and make discretize more OS-independent and future-proof. I opened #336 that will address this one too...
