Python wheel building improvements

[dogganon]

Pull request overview

@Myoldmopar

Changes in this PR include:

• Package Configuration: Replace half-backed setup.py with pyproject.toml for zero-config (almost) wheel building. Under the hood, scikit-build-core is used as the build system for interacting with CMake. Also it's much faster since it tells CMake to use Ninja by default.
• Package Naming: Rename energyplus to energyplus.core. This converts energyplus to a namespace package, which allows sub-packages released under EnergyPlus's "umbrella" to be included in the namespace. Currently energyplus.core (the Python binding) is the only sub-package available (in this repo); In the future, there should be a energyplus.datasets for auxiliary example IDFs and EPWs. Once we have that clean separation of functionality each package can be installed separately so I imagine the installation would be much more lightweight compared to using installers.
• Versioning Scheme: Add helper script scripts/dev/versioning.py for PEP 440. Since scikit-build-core is configured to use setuptools_scm for versioning, which in turn uses Git tags, tags are required to follow PEP 440. This should be relatively easy if the project had used a consistent, common versioning scheme. EnergyPlus is obviously not the case (mostly due to unconventional suffixes like "FollowupBuild" and "IOFreeze"). So I included a script versioning.py in scripts/dev/ to (hopefully) make future version tagging easier to get right, i.e. PEP 440 compliant. (Slidenote: CMake should be configured to pull versions from Git as well. Having two separate version-keeping systems is error-prone.)

Reviewer

This will not be exhaustively relevant to every PR.

• Perform a Code Review on GitHub
• If branch is behind develop, merge develop and build locally to check for side effects of the merge
• If defect, verify by running develop branch and reproducing defect, then running PR and reproducing fix
• If feature, test running new feature, try creative ways to break it
• CI status: all green or justified
• Check that performance is not impacted (CI Linux results include performance check)
• Run Unit Test(s) locally
• Check any new function arguments for performance impacts
• Verify IDF naming conventions and styles, memos and notes and defaults
• If new idf included, locally check the err file and other outputs
