deprecate setup.cfg support

See original GitHub issue

#3062 demonstrates that its not a sustainable option to hijack config files that will be parsed using a different parser

we should deprecate setup.cfg usage and unless someone comes up with a sustainable option to support it, drop it

@blueyed feel free to make a pr implementing that

im going to deprecate it as i dont have the time and motivation and its currently broken in strange ways - im happy to keep it if somebody comes up with a reasonably correct way to have pytest config in setup.cfg that is not completely mindboogling

however also keep in mind that pyproject.toml is upcoming, already standardized and very likely a much saner migration target
