use hatch instead of setuptools

Sebastian Müllerrequested to merge
hatch_build_sys into main

hatch is the new recommended build system for python packages promoted by the PyPA.

  • from user perspective nothing changes (you can use the hatch command now)
  • no MANIFEST.in needed anymore (will ship .gitignore in sdist to be able to build wheel, auto-included)
  • license-files entry in [project] not needed (will automatically determine common license file names)
  • added .git_archival.txt and .gitattributes for git archive install support (correct version determined), solves #99 (closed)

Question

  • Do we want more explicit dev versions? (0.4.0rc3.dev566+ga16a6c6 vs 0.4.0rc3.dev566)
