BLD: update build-time dependencies

[neutrinoceros]

setuptools >=77 has been needed at least since #1512
I'm requiring >=77.0.1 because 77.0.0 was yanked
xref: pypa/setuptools#4706

wheel was never actually needed, but this mistake has been widespread because setuptools' documentation used to (incorrectly) include it in examples.
xref: pypa/setuptools#3859

• Fully documented, including history.rst for all changes and api/*.rst for new API
