Bug#992804: numcodecs: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
numcodecs could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the automatically-generated documentation includes the
repr(...) of a Python "mock" object, which happens to include a
nondeterministic id number.

(Patch attached that uses the common Python idiom for having a default
kwarg without specifying it directly in the method's definition.)
