Description
For ALE development, when running `python setup.py install`, as directed in the readme, it displays this warning:
********************************************************************************
Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
standards-based tools.
This deprecation is overdue, please update your project and remove deprecated
calls to avoid build errors in the future.
See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details.
********************************************************************************
It looks like we should find an alternative.

Research direction
Start with the installation instructions in the README and inspect setup.py to identify the deprecated installation path. Replace the documented and project-supported installation approach with a standards-based alternative, then verify that ALE can still be installed without the deprecation warning.
