IfcOpenShell - pypi missing submodules (missing modules are `mvd` and `simple_spf`)

[Andrej730]

Bug Description

In #6196 (comment) @Breogan10 noticed that there is a discrepancy between Bonsai's ifcopenshell build and build from https://builds.ifcopenshell.org/ - modules mvd and simple_spf.

The reason why they are missing - in bonsai daily CI we checkout repo but don't download submodules.

IfcOpenShell/.github/workflows/ci-bonsai-daily.yml

Lines 56 to 61 in 718254f

	steps:
	- uses: actions/checkout@v2
	- uses: actions/setup-python@v2 # https://github.com/actions/setup-python
	with:
	architecture: 'x64' # optional x64 or x86. Defaults to x64 if not specified
	python-version: '3.11'

While in builds.ifcopenshell ci's we do:

IfcOpenShell/.github/workflows/build_win.yml

Lines 14 to 18 in 718254f

	steps:
	- name: Checkout Repository
	uses: actions/checkout@v3
	with:
	submodules: recursive

While those modules are not very important for Bonsai, until we start using them there, I've also found that our pypi build is missing them for the same reason:

Current build from https://pypi.org/project/ifcopenshell/#files:

Repo (https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/tree/v0.8.0/src/ifcopenshell-python/ifcopenshell):

I'll add those submodules to the related workflows, but those modules will start appearing in our pypi builds only in 0.8.3+

Thanks @Andrej730 🚀

Can I just point out that validation of ifc files in Bonsai is currently failing because of the missing simple_spf module:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1176, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked

@sboddy thanks, moved this import to TYPE_CHECKING for now, should be fixed.

Hi there, what's the ETA for 0.8.3? Is it too late to have a 0.8.3 version that only fixes the pypi build?

1-2 weeks.

Fixed in 0.8.3 release.
