uvloop installs generated loop.c file

uvloop's wheels contains the cython generated loop.c source file, which is about 7.5 MB big. This file get's installed alongside the compiled version into the target python distribution. As far as I understand, this file serves no purpose at runtime so it just ends up taking up disk space. (And given embedded systems ~8MB is a lot of disk space to just waste for something that is never needed). It think instead this file can just not be shipped in the wheel instead?
