Change pip default cache path to `**/pyproject.toml`

See original GitHub issue

Description: requirements.txt is a convention. The only existing standard for where to specify Python dependencies is PEP 621

Related to #502, but not following standards is IMHO a bug, not a missing feature.

Action version: v4

Platform, Runner type, Tools version: N/A

Repro steps:
Create a standard Python project, e.g. via hatch new or by following the official tutorial: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/

Expected behavior: The default path(s) should end with pyproject.toml.

An option would be to be smart about it and only consider pyproject.toml if it contains a project.dependencies array.

Actual behavior: The default cache path is **/requirements.txt.

I closed the issue related to your previous comment. As I understood you’d like to introducing changes for parsing both files to get metadata and identify which file should be used for hash. For more complex caching logic it’s better to use actions/cache that is why I closed it.

For now I’m going to reopen it.

+1, actions/setup-python should support the official Python packaging standard (PEP 621 & cie). At minima, the doc should indicate usage when using pyproject.toml based-dependencies.
