Fix reproducibility of prepared provider packages (fix flit frontend) (…

…#43683)

After some checks it turned out that reproducibility of produced
packages depends not only on the build backend configured for the
project but also on the build front-end used - because frontend is
the one to modify meta-data in prepared packages - including the build
tool used, it's version and metadata version supported by the front-end.

That's why in order to maintain reproducibility for anyone who builds
the packages, we have to pin not only the build backend in
pyproject.toml (flit-core) but also build fronted used (flit).

Since package preparation is done with breeze, we can do it by
pinning flit (and just in case also flit-core) so that anyone who
builds specific version of the package will use exactly the same flit
as the person who built the original packages.

This way we will avoid reproducibility problems experienced with 1.5.0
release of FAB.
