Currently numpy.distutils.Extension class subclasses python's
distutils.extension.Extension class and initializes the base class with
a call that uses positional arguments rather than keyword arguments.
This causes problems with setuptools 25.4.0 where the Extension class
gets a new init function that expects keyword rather than positional
arguments. We should have been using keyword arguments all along and our
luck has run out, so use proper keywords
Closes #7951.
