Adding bitbake-setup to PyPI is helpful to developers who are already
comfortable with using pip in their workflow.

This series makes the necessary changes to build a wheel that may
be uploaded to PyPI.

The build sequence would be:
    git clone https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake

    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

    python3 -m pip install build
    python3 -m build

This produces a wheel (.whl) file in the dist directory.  This may
be installed using pip.

Testing included "Setting Up the Environment With bitbake-setup" from
the Yocto Project manual. As well as testing the ability to build
using local configurations.

    bitbake-setup init poky-whinlatter.conf.json

For each scenario, a build of the core-image-minimal recipe was built
successfully.

There should be a test for producing the .whl, ideally that also
installs the resulting local .whl into a temporary location and runs
'bitbake-setup list' from that installation. Is that feasible?

The instructions to produce, publish, and install the .whl should be
in a README.
