Subject: [PATCH] ci: Block setuptools version in windows compilation

In setuptools v74, the `distutils.msvc9compiler` module has been
removed. However, `cffi` still relies on it. Therefore, the generation
of the windows package fails.

By adding a `pyproject.toml` file and declaring the build backend, it
is possible to define the setuptools version used by the command
`python3 - build` which generates the windows wheel.
