cython: wire up support for emitting and using depfiles

This solves rebuild issues when e.g. importing a .pxd header from a .pyx
file, just like C/C++ source headers. The transpiler needs to run again
in this case.

This functionality is present in the 3.0.0 alphas of cython, and is also
backported to 0.29.33.

Fixes #9049
