[Bug 255722] Mk/Uses/python.mk: Needs to support pyproject.toml-based projects: USE_PYTHON=build feature

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your comment.

Current implementation is functionally almost identical to your description in
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/PEP-517:
* It is PEP-517 compliant.
* It requires port maintainers to parse pyproject.toml and add DEPENDS lines
accordingly (this is also done in the supplied examples).
* It checks that requirements are met, and fails otherwise.

Differences:
* I used USE_PYTHON=build instead of USE_PYTHON=pep517: the user intent here is
to build the project. IMO there's no need to put the standard name into
Makefiles in many places. "build" is a lot easier to remember.
* autoplist isn't currently supported. It isn't obvious that it should be.

Benefits of this implementation:
* It is minimalistic. It does exactly what is required with as little code as
possible.
* It uses only build/installer packages, a minimally required set of
dependencies, and still provides the same functionality.


Best,
Yuri
