Adds Provides-Extra: (with longer explanation), Setup-Requires-Dist:
(full text below)
Setup-Requires-Dist lives because it makes sense to list packages only
needed for setup.py to run before install is possible.
The reserved extra names test and doc live. No one should mind
installing a distribution and its dependencies in order to run the
unit tests or generate the documentation.
Setup-Requires-Dist (multiple use)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Like Requires-Dist, but names dependencies needed while the
distributions's distutils / packaging `setup.py` / `setup.cfg` is run.
Commonly used to generate a manifest from version control.
Examples::
Setup-Requires-Dist: custom_setup_command
Dependencies mentioned in `Setup-Requires-Dist` may be installed
exclusively for setup and are not guaranteed to be available at run
time.
