[Bug 260324] Mk/Uses/python.mk: setup.py deprecated (sort of)

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260324

            Bug ID: 260324
           Summary: Mk/Uses/python.mk: setup.py deprecated (sort of)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jcfyecrayz@liamekaens.com

Apparently using setup.py directly is sort of being deprecated:

Has anyone started investigating a replacement to use for python.mk?

This seems like something close to usable:

pip install --no-build-isolation --no-clean --ignore-installed
--root=$STAGING_DIR  $WRKSRC

Some of those flags are hacks to work around issues installing as non-root to
non-$HOME locations, such as:

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3063

Using 'pip install' directly does not mesh well with the FreeBSD ports paradigm
separating build & stage (install).  But it's reasonably fast in brief testing.

Using 'python -m build' to generate a wheel file that 'pip install' could use
(still with the hacky flags due to the above issue 3063) is incredibly slow.
