setup.py: Make it possible to build without cairo through an env var. See #250

PYGOBJECT_WITHOUT_PYCAIRO=1 python3 setup.py install
or with a recent pip:
PYGOBJECT_WITHOUT_PYCAIRO=1 pip3 install --no-build-isolation pygobject

I don't see a nice way for telling pip not to require pycairo, so this will
have to do for now.
