Replace calls to python setup.py sdist with python -m build --sdist (#7069)

With future changes coming to pip/python/etc, we need to modify to no
longer call `python setup.py ...` and replace it instead:

This means we need to install the build package which is added here as
well.

Additionally, we pass the `--sdist` flag to only build the sdist rather
than the wheel as well here.

 This will create a pypi binary wheel under `dist`, e.g., ``dist/deepspeed-0.3.13+8cd046f-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl`` and then you can install it directly on multiple machines, in our example:

 You may also want to ensure your model configuration is compliant with FlashAttention's requirements. For instance, to achieve optimal performance, the head size should be divisible by 8. Refer to the FlashAttention documentation for more details.
