This release adds PEP 639 support (METADATA 2.4), refactors the RFC messages,
and adds a lot of validation (including warnings and opt-in errors), a way to
produce all validation errors at once, and more. The beta releases are intended
for backend authors to try out the changes before a final release.
Features:
- Added PEP 639 support for SPDX license and license files, METADATA 2.4
- Validate extra keys (warning, opt-in error)
- Functions to check top level and build-system (including PEP 735 support)
- Add TypedDict's in new module for typing pyproject.toml dicts
- `all_errors=True` causes `ExceptionGroup`'s to be emitted
- Support METADATA 2.1+ JSON format with new `.as_json()` method
Fixes:
- Match EmailMessage spacing
- Handle multilines the way setuptools does with smart indentation
- Warn on multiline Summary (`project.description`)
- Improve locking for just metadata fields
- Error on extra keys in author/maintainer

Refactoring:

- Make `RFC822Message` compatible with and subclass of `EmailMessage` class with
support for Unicode
- Remove indirection accessing `metadata_version`, add `auto_metadata_version`
- Rework how dynamic works, add `dynamic_metadata`
- Use dataclass instead of named tuple
- Use named arguments instead of positional
- Spit up over multiple files
- Remove `DataFetcher`, use static types wherever possible

for key names)
