bitsandbytes chore: migrate config files to `pyproject.toml`

This PR aims to drop the configuration files in favour of pyproject.toml in order to have a more minimal project structure.

There's an older PR (#1078) that I had started a while ago for the same thing. I'm OK superseding that one with this PR but with some more changes to match the intent of #1078.

The biggest of those changes would be to move more from setup.py to pyproject.toml as was done in #1078.

@matthewdouglas I've ported over some of your work from #1078 to this PR. Before I port over changes to the Github Actions changes as well, let's resolve the older comments.
