Fix(deps): Modernize packaging to fix setuptools deprecations

This commit addresses deprecation warnings originating from the use of
outdated `setuptools` functions. To resolve this, the project's packaging
configuration has been modernized in accordance with current Python
packaging standards (PEP 621).

Key changes include:
- All declarative package metadata (e.g., name, version, dependencies,
  author, classifiers) has been moved from `setup.py` to `pyproject.toml`.
- The `setup.py` file has been simplified to only contain the logic
  necessary for building the C++ extensions.
- The deprecated `self.distribution.get_version()` method has been replaced
  with a direct use of the `__version__` variable.
- The `py.typed` marker file is now correctly included in the package via
  the `[tool.setuptools.package-data]` configuration in `pyproject.toml`.

These changes ensure that the build process is fully compliant with modern
packaging standards and eliminates the `setuptools` deprecation warnings.
