migrate setup.py to pyproject.toml

[deronnax]

Description

Following PEP 621, setup.py is soft-deprecated (not truly deprecated but not the way to go anymore) and metadata in pyproject.toml is the new norm. This change should be functionally strictly equivalent.

Thanks for the PR @deronnax , this has been overdue for some time. CI is not happy with the change though, do you think you could figure this out, or need help? Our CI workflow is pretty simple, so I'm surprised there's been a hiccup:

but perhaps we're missing something there.

I have left a few comments from a (very) cursory review. I'll make a second pass in the coming days to make sure that the new pyproject-based version is equivalent to what was set in setup.py.

[deronnax]

All concerns addressed. Sorry for the oversights.

@j-bennet let's merge ?

@deronnax Yes! thanks for the ping.

Merged! Well done @deronnax and @dbaty.
