Hi,

I had a go at modernising the packaging stack. `setup.py` based invocations have been deprecated (https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html), and setuptools may remove them in the future. 

This takes the opportunity to move to a PEP 621 based declarative config, and also fixes a longstanding TODO item about providing script wappers for the frontend tools on windows, by migrating them to entry points.

I've updated install and development docs with the new guidance, and updated references to the frontend tools to remove `.py`, given they are now installed as proper scripts.

Hope this is appreciated -- happy to make revisions etc to help getting this merged.
