[Distutils] PEP 517: Build system API

[Thomas Kluyver]

I've made PRs against PEP 517 for:

Underscore to dash in build-backend:
https://github.com/python/peps/pull/139

1a: Add a user parameter to the install_editable hook
https://github.com/python/peps/pull/140

OR:

1c: Get rid of the install_editable hook
https://github.com/python/peps/pull/141

I'm leaning towards 1c; it can always be standardised in a separate PEP,
and an optional hook added back.
