Implement bdist_pex

[wickman]

bdist_pex would be a natural way to build applications for production, especially if you just dump pex options into setup.cfg.

Was just thinking the same thing, as I want to build a pex in our CI pipeline and the other things I build like sdist, wheel, and platter all automatically grab the version number and output a file with the version number in it. With pex, it seems I would have to get the version number and pass it to pex. But if there was a python setup.py bdist_pex, then it would be just like building an sdist or wheel and very natural.

There is also an implementation here: master...wickman:wickman/99
