Remove setuptools

[remyroy]

Fixes #11 .

This removes setuptools, its dependency, the use of setup.py. It adds a new way to run from the CLI using the standard way to run a module with Python. It updates the related README file sections.

Testing this locally works great but we have an issue, I believe, where the common build_configs requirements.txt utilizes pyinstaller which seems to have a dependency on setuptools which fails due to require-hashes mode:

ERROR: In --require-hashes mode, all requirements must have their versions pinned with ==. These do not:
    setuptools>=42.0.0 from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f7/29/13965af254e3373bceae8fb9a0e6ea0d0e571171b80d6646932131d6439b/setuptools-69.5.1-py3-none-any.whl (from pyinstaller==6.4.0->-r ./build_configs/macos/../common/requirements.txt (line 5))

And it looks like there is still usages of setuptools inDockerfile and Makefile

I haven't looked to deeply at alternatives but do you think this would be a separate piece of work?

[remyroy]

Let me do more tests with the build process and the Makefile to make sure this is not an issue forward.

Which command forces the require-hashes mode? @valefar-on-discord

In this branch, I tried this command in a new venv and that seems to work with all the requirements for the linux build process:

Oh my bad, I see this line here which I need to explore and investigate a little more:

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools>=42.0.0 in /home/remyroy/VirtualEnvs/testedc/lib/python3.10/site-packages (from pyinstaller==6.4.0->-r build_configs/linux/../common/requirements.txt (line 5)) (59.6.0)

There are probably some overlaps with #26 . I will need to perform tests with both of these concerns in mind.

Work continued in #28.
