python: allow source building for newer pip versions
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a standard Python packaging configuration file (pyproject.toml) that tells newer versions of pip how to build the project from source. It is a routine build-system change with no apparent security relevance.
No security action required. Review as a normal build-system maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff creates a pyproject.toml containing only a [build-system] section specifying setuptools >= 42.0.0 as the build backend. This is the standard PEP 517/518 configuration required by modern pip to perform source builds. There are no code changes, dependency alterations beyond the build tool, or security-sensitive modifications.
