nix-init pyproject build requires build-system definition

A pyproject.toml file is only useful for building a python project, when it has a build-system section and a build-backend defined.

Don't offer it, when the section does not exist.

Perhaps it should just recommend setuptools over pyproject if it is absent?

Apparently you can just use pyproject format if no build-system is present, but either setup.cfg or setup.py are. In either case you then need setuptools in nativeBuildInputs.
