Clean up setuptools and wheel requirements to align with PEP-518

[noklam]

We've got "setuptools>=38.0" and wheel requirements in various other places in the repo (just do a Ctrl+F to see them). Does this mean we can remove them from there?

If yes then that would be nice but a bit of a bigger change, so probably worth doing in a separate PR.

We will reassess how much effort this is and exactly what's involved once we've split all our test requirements etc. following the creation of kedro-datasets. If we remove our requirements for pip-tools then maybe we can remove our dependency on setuptools altogether.

When #2152 is addressed, I guess the build requirements would only be specified in the PEP 518 [build-system] table of pyproject.toml.

@astrojuanlu Is there any more work that needs to be done here, or is it completed with #2152 as you commented above?

[astrojuanlu]

I think we should be able to safely remove them from scripts and files used for development, namely:

kedro/Makefile

Lines 10 to 11 in 7dcb60c

	install-pip-setuptools:
	pip install -U "pip>=21.2" "setuptools>=65.5.1" wheel

kedro/features/environment.py

Lines 108 to 109 in 7dcb60c

	"setuptools>=65.5.1",
	"wheel",

kedro/dependency/requirements.txt

Line 21 in 7dcb60c

setuptools>=65.5.1

kedro/tools/circleci/requirements.txt

Line 2 in 7dcb60c

setuptools>=65.5.1

However, there are other mentions related to kedro package, (which will require addressing #2413 first), and maybe the starters (#2280).

[merelcht]

Okay cool, thanks for the clarification! In that case let's get #2413 in the next sprint and complete that first.

[astrojuanlu]

To make sure I understand, this issue is about the Kedro CI, and #2350 is about the Kedro runtime dependencies, right? (The latter being a bit more difficult because of #2350 (comment))

Closed in #2927
