Specify build backend for editable installs

[hugovk]

Fixes the issue that showed up in #500, also reproducible locally:

With the old pip==21.2.4 we could do python -m pip install -e . for an editable install.

Now, with new pip==21.3 we need to specify the build backend. See:

• Support editable installs for projects that have a pyproject.toml and use a build backend that supports PEP 660. (#8212)
