Use release buildtype in Cython tests, and skip unless ninja backend

This matches the tests for Python extensions.

Also include some other cleanups to these `meson.build` files:

Adding `python_dep` is no longer needed, this is automatic now.
Use a single line for `import('python').find_installation()`,
because the result of `import('python')` by itself is not used
for anything.
