Use cythonize build_dir parameter to place generated .cpp files in build/cython/ instead of the source tree. This prevents them from being included in the wheel. Additionally, add exclude-package-data for *.cpp in cuda-bindings to exclude any remaining .cpp files from the package.

Is this required to avoid including the source?
