Simplified build process

[FabienLelaquais]

Addresses #2514 for 4.1 and forward, and #2515.

• Compute all dev release index (no more 'dev' in version.json)
• Bump patch version when creating a production release
• Favor pyproject.toml over setup and MANIFEST
• Optimize Taipy build (cache on GUI bundle)
• Removed unused scripts

TODO: documentation on these.

json OK
*/setup.py: would it be easier to have a shared function that would take the right arguments and return the content of install_requires
The couple setup.py files I have looked at seems very similar ?

That's a good idea, that is worth trying to tackle in the future.
My worry is that this code would have to be in the most shared package ('taipy.common'), and quite beside the point of the product.
Also, I don't really know if this can work when installing... a dependent pacakge (say 'taipy.core'): the code is needed to install, but because it's in a dependency, it's not there yet.
Any idea?

You're right, I see 2 solutions to might not be worth the trouble:

1. manually copy that function in every setup.py file with the right comment
2. generate the setup.py files before building the packages
