A 'pip install' is silently broken unless the tree is dirty and contains
pylibfdt/libfdt.py. The problem is a known issue[1] with SWIG and
setuptools where the 'build_py' stage needing module.py runs before
the 'build_ext' stage which generates it. The work-around is to override
'build_py' to run 'build_ext' first.

Since Python 2.5 the argument parsing functions when parsing expressions
such as s# (string plus length) expect the length to be an int or a
ssize_t, depending on whether PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is defined or not.
Python 3.8 deprecated the use of int, and with Python 3.10 this symbol
must be defined and ssize_t used[1].
Define the magic symbol when building the extension, and cast the ints
from the libfdt API to ssize_t as appropriate.

Using 'pip' and several setup.py sub-commands currently don't work with
pylibfdt. The primary reason is Python packaging has opinions on the
directory structure of repositories and one of those appears to be the
inability to reference source files outside of setup.py's subtree. This
means a sdist cannot be created with all necessary source components
(i.e. libfdt headers). Moving setup.py to the top-level solves these
problems.
With this change. the following commands now work:
Creating packages for pypi.org:
./setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
Using pip for installs:
pip install .
pip install git+http://github.com/robherring/dtc.git@pypi-v2
