build: remove wheel from explicit dependencies

indygreg · indygreg · commit 6ff6b7e846ec · 2024-05-26T17:15:55.000-07:00
It is a transitive dependency of setuptools. Since we gave up trying to have deterministic build environments, it doesn't serve much value. And it may make the lives of downstream packagers harder. So just remove it. Part of #207.
