packaging: conform to PEP 517 guidelines #519

Problem:
Not compliant with python packaging standards.
Deprecation warnings from pip due to outdated packaging format.
ref #518

Solution:
- Conform to PEP 517 packaging guidelines
- Change packaging and uploading commands in README to allow for building and
  uploading a source distribution as well as a wheel.
- Added language to setup.py to create universal wheel (necessary for continuing
  py2.7 compatibility - even if py2.7 is EOL).
- Add minimal pyproject.toml
