fix compatibility of jpype with setuptools==72.0.0

[alexrashed]

Motivation

With setuptools==72.0.0, the test command was removed after being deprecated for a long time. This completely breaks the installation of any packages using the test command, including JPype. See https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/4519 for other issue reports. This PR fixes JPype to be compatible with setuptools 72+ again. Fixes https://github.com/jpype-project/jpype/issues/1205.

Changes

• Removes the test alias and command.
• Adjusts a line in the docs
• setup.py test was not used in CI anymore, so in terms of usage, this PR only adjusts one line in the docs.

Testing

Before:

$ pip install --upgrade setuptools
$ pip install -e .
Obtaining file:///home/.../Repos/kyuubi/python
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [6 lines of output]
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
        File "<pip-setuptools-caller>", line 34, in <module>
        File "/home/.../Repos/kyuubi/python/setup.py", line 4, in <module>
          from setuptools.command.test import test as TestCommand
      ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools.command.test'
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.

@marscher are you around? There have been a number of items requiring update recently. If you aren't available for review I will likely have to self review and get the ball rolling towards a release.

I can step up for some review. Particularly on the Python infra side of things. Feel free to ping me.

FWIW, I think this PR is good to go as it is.

[Thrameos]

Thanks. I will start merging. I will also need to finish the patch/kludge for 3.13 before we release.

[marscher]

Sorry for being not available for so long. Thanks for the patch. I think this is pretty straight forward.
