plugins: add support for pyproject.toml projects (lp:#2008237)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged pyproject.toml project support for the Python plugin into main via commit 438951f7; a mistaken 1.19.x backport was reverted.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #435 merged to main as commit 438951f7, enabling Python projects with either setup.py or pyproject.toml. Current main retains the support, and maintainers confirmed the mistaken 1.19.x backport was reverted.

Issue body
Python projects move to pyproject.toml[0] instead of using setup.py so add support to craft-parts so snaps can be build using the python plugin.
