project: Switch to pyproject

Starting with PEP 621, `pyproject.toml` is the standard way of
specifying project metadata.

Also switch to using the version from `pyproject.toml` instead of having
a west.version python module. Adjust documentation for the same.

Update MAINTAINERS.rst to use build for dist building.
