… 'call_soon'

See haata#1 for a discussion. The cause of this bug is still unknown to me. But it likely has been fixed in Python 3.10. For some crazy reason, you can just keep retrying the offending call, and the attribute will magically 'reappear'.

I was able to reproduce this locally (in a slightly different way than in CI), and the problem goes away with this fix (no infinite loops have occurred). There are a bunch of CI tests running here: https://github.com/LasseBlaauwbroek/pycapnp/commits/fix-attribute-error-ci-test
I'd suggest waiting for them to be green to merge this.

While looking at capnproto#333, I hypothesized that upgrading Cython might solve the
issue. It didn't. But upgrading should still happen at some point. This is my
work in progress on that. The tests pass, but there are two main things missing:

Problem (1):
Starting with Cython 3, you can only do `except+` or `except
+reraise_kj_exception` on `extern` functions coming from C++. (This makes sense,
and the way things were declared in Pycapnp wasn't too good.) As a result, I had
to remove a lot of these declaration. This results in some segmentation faults,
because Cython no longer detects C++ exceptions and converts them to Python
exceptions in some places.

To solve this, all `extern` declarations in `.pxd` files have to be examined and
`except +reraise_kj_exception` clauses need to be added to anything that might
throw. Previously, this was done really inconsistently. The lazy solution would
be to just add the clause everywhere, but I'm not sure what the performance
implications are.

Problem (2):
The compilation output of `python setup.py build_ext --inplace` is now full of messages like these:
```

There are to many `move` calls inserted. I'm not sure if this is a Cython issue,
or if we are somehow annotating things wrong. Might be worth asking the Cython
people.

I'm not planning on working on this further in the short term. If someone wants
to take over on this, feel free.
