[Epic] Migrate from setup.py/setuptools to pyproject.toml/hatch

[DawoudSheraz]

This larger issue originated from the work done in tutor core PR #1163. The PR aimed to fix #956 by switching to hatch as a project builder/manager. This change needed to have an updated pyproject.toml and potentially migrate setup.py to pyproject.toml. To ensure consistency across the codebase, the change should be done across core, tutor plugins, and plugin cookie-cutter.

When initializing a new hatch project, it automatically converts setup.py to pyproject. However, it won't be enough / might not be correct. We would need to config some metadata dynamically. Python docs highlight the synonymous pyproject fields for related setuptools fields. Ensure the build works as expected after the change. You might need to change commands where needed.
