[scikit-image] Installing from pypi tarball without cython

[Thomas Caswell]

I am not sure that shipping pre-cythonized c-code is a good idea.  In the
run up to python 3.7 there was as issue that the python c-api changed and
as a result tarballs that did include the c code were un-install-able due
to the c not building (see https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/issues/126 ).
