Migrate to proproject.toml (PEP 518)

[j6k4m8]

This repo is still on the "old" setup.py instead of the new pyproject.toml; would be good for version pinning to ugprade!

@davidmezzetti I see txtai is already using a pyproject.toml. If I made this change, do you anticipate it affecting your installation? I'd like to upgrade this repo to use uv. (Would probably be a minor version update, i.e., 0.6.0 to 0.7.0)

I believe you're currently the largest open-source production-facing user of the codebase so I'd like to make the transition as graceful as possible for you :)

Hi @j6k4m8, I appreciate you asking!

I don't believe it would make a difference either way. My understanding is that setup.py/poetry/uv all appear the same in PyPI.
