switch from setup.py to pyproject.toml

It would be nice to switch to modern Python packaging standards at some point.

The Python community has standardised on pyproject.toml for Python packaging:

I haven't had time to complete this migration but I made a start here:

I agree this would be much better—thanks for getting it started.

I note that setup.py uses distutils, which will be removed from Python 3.12, switching to pyproject will fix this too.
