Remove custom build requirements for Python 3.12

Just to see what happens.

• TMP: Pin setuptools_scm<8 #115

Wait, what? I didn't even touch setuptools_scm stuff, though your version logic is kinda complicated in setup.py; is that really necessary?

It is to enforce the versioning scheme that always preserves the C ERFA version.
The implementation is indeed quite complicated but at the time I didn't manage to do better.
Any suggestion/patch is very welcome of course.

I am not well-versed in version generation. But the failure is blocking downstream testing over at astropy given that you do not publish a dev wheel (#109). I was just going to brute force to remove the logic and let setuptools_scm do its thing.

Either that or you will have to pin setuptools_scm<8 (https://pypi.org/project/setuptools-scm/#history) which is also not ideal.

Probably at the moment it is the fastest solution, at least for the short term.
I will try to look into the issue during the week-end but I cannot guarantee, this is a very busy period for me.

This is ready for review. Thanks!
