chore: migrate to hatch/hatchling, drop Python 2 support (#626)

* Mark some TODOs; reword Ruff env description

* Hatchling as build backend, add missing metadata

* Mark wheel as py3 and above, support Python 3.8+

* Remove `setuptools`-specific files

* Add hatch and friends, modernise build command

* Drop dependence on `six`

* Drop dependence on `future`

* Pin NumPy <2 to allow the tests to pass

* Bump some GHA tools versions

* Bump to `setup-python` v5.1.1

* Preface command-line `tox` invocation with `python -m`

* Temporarily exclude PyPy3.10-Windows
