Adding pyproject.toml file #112

Closed pruthvistony closed 1 year ago

pruthvistony commented 1 year ago

Cherry-pick of https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex/pull/1669
Needed to build apex with newer pip >= 23.1 using updated flags.
Some related JIRAs: SWDEV-406006 and SWDEV-405889

LGTM, although I think we should provide an updated method to build without cloning as well. Maybe have that in a different PR to allow this PR to be merged and unblock the JIRAs.

The method of using pyproject.toml is relatively new and there are lot of discussions and usage confusions. Currently this change is safer since the pyproject.toml (pip install) method is used only when pip version >=23.1 and for older pip version use the legacy method through setup.py install.
