fix: setuptools packaging metadata for Python 3.10+ and setuptools 81-84 compatibility

- Align pyproject.toml build-system requires with setuptools>=77.0.1,<85

- Set requires-python to >=3.10

- Add fallback setup.cfg metadata for legacy pip/setuptools

- Keep PEP 621 static license expression consistent
