v7.1.0: Support other CPUs, read-only arrays

✨ New features and improvements

• Support read-only numpy arrays, by specifying const in Cython memory-view types. Read-only arrays are helpful for shared-memory multiprocessing, e.g. from Apache Arrow's Plasma object store.

• Update to cython-blis v0.4, which supports non-x86_64 CPU architectures. For wide (but slow) support, you can specify the environment variable BLIS_ARCH=generic before installing.
