Version 0.3.0

This version brings two new dynamic metadata plugins (wrappers for setuptools_scm & hatch-pypi-fancy-readme). Third-party packages can now add entry-points declaring CMAKE_PREFIX_DIR and CMAKE_MODULE_DIR entries. Support has been added for requesting metadata without building. And experimental support was added for editable installs, including an option for automatic rebuilds.

Several fixes have been added as well, like SABI support, ARM cross-compiling support for FindPython, scripts entries now process shebang lines, and setting a build-dir with {wheel_tag} was not working before. The docs have been started, with a quickstart for common situations, a page on configuration, and some info on authoring a CMakeLists.
