[build] modernize build-frontend: python setup.py develop/install -> [uv ]pip install --no-build-isolation [-e ]. (#156027)

Modernize the development installation:

```bash
# python setup.py develop
python -m pip install --no-build-isolation -e .

# python setup.py install
python -m pip install --no-build-isolation .
```

Now, the `python setup.py develop` is a wrapper around `python -m pip install -e .` since `setuptools>=80.0`:

- pypa/setuptools#4955

`python setup.py install` is deprecated and will emit a warning during run. The warning will become an error on October 31, 2025.

## Step 8: Build PyTorch
To build pytorch from source, simply run:
```
python setup.py develop
```bash
python -m pip install --no-build-isolation -v -e .
```
The process involves compiling thousands of files, and would take a long time. Fortunately, the compiled objects can be useful for your next build. When you modify some files, you only need to compile the changed files the next time.
