setup: build C extensions with -Werror=declaration-after-statement

MSVC 2008 still needs declarations at the top of the scope.  I added it to the
3rd party code too in case somebody vendors a new version with a problem-
they'll get an early warning.  Clang seems to ignore this (at least on 10.14
with Xcode 10), and gcc 7.4 will error out as desired on Ubuntu 18.04.  Thanks
to Yuya for remembering the name of the option.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
