CCD build on install #542

This PR proposes an alternative solution to #530. Instead of periodically updating the CCD dataset in version control (Git LFS) as implemented by #541, this PR removes the CCD dataset from version control again and instead creates it directly on installation.

Using Git LFS has multiple disadvanatges: First, Biotite would be locked-in into third-party version control features and, secondly, GitHub provides only a limited download quota from LFS which fills very fast due to CI jobs.
Furthermore, CCD creation on installation automatically ensures that the CCD version is always up-to-date.

This approach leads to problems in cross-compilation: setup_ccd.py requires importing compiled Biotite modules via pyximport. However in cross-compilation, these modules are compiled for the target architecture and not for the current one. Hence, an error appears. Currently I see no clean way to circumvent such problems.
