build: respect the "pure" argument at metadata generation time (#1417)

When a pure build is requested, no compiled extensions are produced. The
setuptools_rust dependency ends up imported-but-not-used. Teach
setuptools to avoid build-requiring it in this case.

Closes: https://github.com/jelmer/dulwich/issues/1405
