setup.py → pyproject.toml

Move to pyproject.toml and make setup.py a thin wrapper

Configuring setuptools using pyproject.toml files

This would probably be a bit hacky due to the Cython compilation and Numpy Extension during build. See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73800736/pyproject-toml-and-cython-extension-module

Unless there is an advantage or setup.py get's deprecated I'd prefer to leave it as is. Currently it would require us to have one additionaly file for the Cython building process + setup.py + project.toml, so it's a bit cleaner using only setup.py+project.toml

Indeed setup.py is slowly getting deprecated. See for example https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/issues/509#issuecomment-1493351047.

I agree it will be tricky. We should probably look into NumPy for ideas.
