We don't seem to support filling in a `python_distribution` target from a `pyproject.toml` file?

I just see the `setup_py` of course, but that requires me to fill in the details separately from a `pyproject.toml`.

I don't know if there's an issue about pulling metadata for a `python_distribution` from a `pyproject.toml`, but there is an issue for generating a `pyproject.toml` instead of `setup.py`: <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/12487>

Unfortunately right now it’s all or nothing. Either you use a generated setup.py and then nothing is used from any other source, or you turn it off entirely and use whatever is in the sandbox, which could be a pyproject.toml

There is not (but should be) a way to generate partial data and fill in the rest from a pyproject.toml
