3948	Remove all of the dynamicism from setup.py	exarkun		"The Python packaging ecosystem is drifting away from ""a lot of Python code in setup.py"" towards other things.

setuptools is still a thing but the preferred way to use it is not via `setup.py` any longer.

As a step towards one of these new ways of doing things (maybe just setuptools without setup.py) we should get rid of all of our custom setup.py code and drive setuptools in the almost-completely-static way of `pyproject.toml` and `setup.cfg`.
