build: Migrate from setup.py to pyproject.toml

Using `setup.py` is deprecated and the new recommanded way is to declare
a `pyproject.toml` file (see PEP 517 [^1]).

This commit proposes to use setuptools to achieve that, because
setuptools is already used by yamllint, is standard and referenced by
the official Python packaging documentation [^2], and seems to be the
most lightweight solution. An alternative could have been to use Poetry,
see the dedicated pull request and discussion [^3].

For some period, the `setup.py` file will be kept (although almost
empty), to allow old tools versions to keep working.

Closes https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/issues/509.
