Summary
This commit updates the setup.py setup_requires field to only include
build dependencies. Previously we were a bit aggresive in the set of
packages we specified as build dependencies in the setup.py. This dates
back to early issues building packages from sdist where things were not
properly being installed. However, this results in requiring people have
a working scipy (that setuptools/scikit-build) can find at build time.
This commit updates the setup.py to be more explicit about the packages
it requires for build time and for run time so that when users are
building from source (or sdist) it is more likely to work correctly.
