Building the Python package from source requires libusb and portaudio shared & static libraries to be present, but these were not included in the source distribution. Originally reported here: https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group/t/libusb-and-the-psychtoolbox-wheel-in-psychopy/4883

This change tells Python to include the necessary shared & static libraries for building PsychPortAudio/PsychHID in the source archive. If the entrepreneurial user tried to install from source instead of relying on one of the pre-built wheels, the build step would fail due to these missing dependencies.
I now test building from the source archive on Linux/Win/Mac, and appears successful (see e.g. here).
