dev: Ensure latest setuptools used in CI

[adigitoleo]

It seems like the Python setup action in CI doesn't respect [build-system] in pyproject.toml ☹️ This ensures that the latest setuptools is being used in CI. I made the matching change to the virtual environment setup script.

Maybe this will resolve the failures to install llmvlite in the MacOS runner.

Well, the MacOS CI failure persists. The error message is confusing, as the logs show that setuptools v82 is being used, which is newer than the suggested v70.1, more investigation required.

Please update to setuptools v70.1 or later which contains an integrated version of this command.

No luck on newer macos runner either. I don't think we want it to build llvmlite anyway should ideally just download a pre-built one? Might need to pin llmvlite version

Sorry, I cannot manage to make it work either...

[adigitoleo]

No worries I'll consider either pinning llvmlite (in pyproject.toml, kinda ugly as it then affects other platforms) or play around with adding brew insatll llvm before building the wheel on mac. Aside: my home office keyboard is dying so I will come back after a trip to JB 😆
