Allow opt-out of find_files behavior. (issue 561)

> cant merge this yet as opting out of the file finders possibly opts into version finding + there is a bug In https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm/pull/364#discussion_r349931908, I advocated for there being a...

parse_requirements fails on requirements.txt files with multiple line continuations.

add a bump version command

implicit dependency on setuptools causes build failures on pip

In cae8be50488b007cbd6c261a86ca478b473631a9, I tried adding `backend-path` so that `wheel` had `wheel`, but that fails with a `BackendInvalid` error: ``` $ pip-run --no-binary :all: git+https://github.com/pypa/wheel@cae8be50488b007cbd6c261a86ca478b473631a9 Collecting git+https://github.com/pypa/wheel@cae8be50488b007cbd6c261a86ca478b473631a9 Cloning https://github.com/pypa/wheel (to revision...

implicit dependency on setuptools causes build failures on pip

I'm not sure there's anything the wheel project can do here. It seems to be a bootstrapping issue - pip creates an implicit dependency on wheel for every project, including...
