1. Stop injecting wheel as a build dep fallback …

   PEP 517 doesn't mandate depending on `wheel` when a `__legacy__`
   setuptools fallback is used. Historically, it used to be assumed as
   necessary, but later it turned out to be wrong. The reason is that
   `setuptools`' `get_requires_for_build_wheel()` hook already injects
   this dependency when building wheels is requested [[1]].
   It also used to have this hint in the docs, but it was corrected
   earlier [[2]].
   
   This patch removes `wheel` from said `requires` list fallback.
