Use static meta data in setup.cfg

[sverhoeven]

At https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/ it says Static metadata should be preferred and dynamic metadata should be used only as an escape hatch when absolutely necessary. Currently the template is using a dynamic metadata, see

python-template/{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/setup.py

Lines 26 to 74 in 55129e2

	setup(
	name='{{ cookiecutter.project_slug.lower().replace(' ', '_').replace('-', '_')}}',
	version=version,
	description="{{ cookiecutter.project_short_description.replace('\"', '\\\"') }}",
	long_description=readme + '\n\n',
	author="{{ cookiecutter.full_name.replace('\"', '\\\"') }}",
	author_email='{{ cookiecutter.email }}',
	url='https://github.com/{{ cookiecutter.github_organization }}/{{ cookiecutter.project_slug.lower().replace(' ', '_').replace('-', '_')}}',
	packages=[
	'{{ cookiecutter.project_slug.lower().replace(' ', '_').replace('-', '_')}}',
	],
	include_package_data=True,
	{%- if cookiecutter.open_source_license in license_classifiers %}
	license="{{ cookiecutter.open_source_license }}",
	{%- endif %}
	zip_safe=False,
	keywords='{{ cookiecutter.project_slug }}',
	classifiers=[
	'Development Status :: 2 - Pre-Alpha',
	'Intended Audience :: Developers',
	{%- if cookiecutter.open_source_license in license_classifiers %}
	'{{ license_classifiers[cookiecutter.open_source_license] }}',
	{%- endif %}
	'Natural Language :: English',
	'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
	'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5',
	'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6',
	'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.7',
	],
	test_suite='tests',
	install_requires=[], # FIXME: add your package's dependencies to this list
	setup_requires=[
	# dependency for `python setup.py test`
	'pytest-runner',
	# dependencies for `python setup.py build_sphinx`
	'sphinx',
	'sphinx_rtd_theme',
	'recommonmark'
	],
	tests_require=[
	'pytest',
	'pytest-cov',
	'pycodestyle',
	],
	extras_require={
	'dev': ['prospector[with_pyroma]', 'yapf', 'isort'],
	},
	data_files=[('citation/{{ cookiecutter.project_slug.lower().replace(' ', '_').replace('-', '_')}}', ['CITATION.cff'])]
	)

To follow best practices we should move those metadata from setup.py to setup.cfg.

The setup.py is still needed for non-pure Python packages (aka packages with C++/C code), but should be very short by default.
