Add pyproject.toml file for PEP518 compliance (#1625)

The newly created `pyproject.toml` contains all static metadata as well
as the readme and version as dynamic arguments, to be read by setuptools
during the build.

What is left in the `setup.py` for now is the custom Bazel extension
class, since that is not properly supported yet.
