Remove setup_command from pyproject.toml

[14mRh4X0r]

Feature or Bugfix

• Bugfix

Purpose

• pyproject.toml is still referencing setup_command in places, including as entry point for distutils.commands. This breaks any invocation of setuptools involving getting information from entry points.

Detail

• Running e.g. python setup.py --help-commands will raise ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sphinx.setup_command'

Relates

• Builds with ament_python broken with sphinx >= 7.0.0 colcon/colcon-core#556
• Remove setuptools support #11363

Just for completeness' sake: it does, that's what setuptools calls internally (it fails on ep.load()).
