Legacy setup.py install will be deprecated

Hiya,

When installing colabdesign from Git (pip3 install git+https://github.com/sokrypton/ColabDesign.git) the following deprecation warning shows up:

DEPRECATION: Building 'colabdesign' using the legacy setup.py bdist_wheel mechanism, which will be removed in a future version. pip 25.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use the standardized build interface by setting the --use-pep517option, (possibly combined with--no-build-isolation), or adding a pyproject.toml file to the source tree of 'colabdesign'. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6334

As pip 25.3 is scheduled for Q4 2025, that means soon Colabdesign won't be able to be installed anymore.

Your setup.py seems pretty simple to turn into a pyproject.toml, so hopefully it can keep working after Q4 of this year.
