This PR sets up this project for the initial release to PyPI. Except for some documentation and test/doc stuff, it is functionally equivalent to pvfactors version 1.5.2. The one exception is that it has no upper version limit on its pvlib dependency. This is necessary to address https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/issues/1796.

The way it is currently configured, it will be listed on PyPI under
solarfactorsbut the installed python package is still imported withpvfactors. I am still nervous about this approach (see https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/discussions/1657#discussioncomment-4938209), but it is the easiest and fastest way to resolving https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/issues/1796.For consistency I think it makes sense to continue on with the versioning used in the original pvfactors, so this release will be 1.5.3.
