Description

Thanks @adamchainz for the PR! Took the liberty of rebase it into master.

@RonnyPfannschmidt any idea why are we pulling an incompatible setuptools-scm version in Python 3.5?

Originally posted by @nicoddemus in https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/642#issuecomment-803363622

our complete installer setup has a few holes, we should take out setup_requires, let setup.py fail without setuptools_scm and sort out pyproject.toml
