Always regenerate .c/cpp output files when changing the Cython version. This is probably what users expect since silently keeping outdated files is error prone.

By disabling "CYTHON_FAST_THREAD_STATE" and "CYTHON_USE_EXC_INFO_STACK"

I think this still leaves some breakage in Coroutines.c but it's enough of a fix that Cython succeeds in building itself. Therefore I think it's worth doing now even if it doesn't fix everything.

Improve the error message for "Optional[ctype]". Previously, it failed complaining about "or None", which wasn't the actual syntax construct on user side.

New decorator/function "@cython.dataclasses.dataclass" and "cython.dataclasses.field()" to mark dataclasses and their fields.

Tries to match the interface provided by a regular dataclass as much as possible.
This means taking the types from the dataclasses module if available (so they match exactly) or a fallback Python version that just implements the core parts (executed with "PyRun_String()" in the C source).

Use of placeholders in generated "__init__" code means the code in the C file isn't hugely readable. Probably not a huge issue, but don't really see a way round that.

As part of this I've also also implemented a Cython version of "typing.ClassVar". Although really designed for use with dataclasses it behaves sensibly when used in types in a normal cdef class. This is worth documenting more thoroughly.

Fix division-by-zero crash in tests when the C ompiler discards the computational body of a Cython coroutine.

Add a new command line option so that

Try to write relative paths as much as possible.

Disable parallel builds in the 0.29.x branch since they currently misbehave and fail in CI, trying to rebuild everything multiple times in parallel.

Move the option to "exclude" children from the tree traversal from the "VisitorTransform" class up to its parent "TreeVisitor" class.

Use "Py_ssize_t" instead of "int" for a node counter variable to avoid uselessly limiting its value range.
