src/setup.py: Replace use of is_package_installed_and_updated by sage_conf or features

[mkoeppe]

Currently (after #29701), src/setup.py determines what "distributions" to build using is_package_installed_and_updated, which inspects the installation records found in $SAGE_SPKG_INST = $SAGE_LOCAL/var/lib/sage/installed and also the information in $SAGE_PKGS = $SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs.

Instead, we make it configurable via sage_conf, falling back to testing features.

(Note that after #30779, src/setup.py is intended to be invoked by the user for user-defined venvs, and is separate from build/pkgs/sagelib/setup.py, which is used by the Sage distribution.)

Alternative approach:

• Add an autoconf configure script for sagelib #29119 Add an autoconf configure script for sagelib

Depends on #30779

Setting new milestone based on a cursory review of ticket status, priority, and last modification date.

Closing. We'll replace it by building and installing the packages sagemath-bliss, .... etc. instead.
That's #37857.
