pyproject.toml not working

The problem

Settings in pyproject.toml are not loaded:

error: No option 'version_variable' in section: 'semantic_release'

Expected behavior

Settings are loaded from pyproject.toml if it exists.

Additional context

The problematic repo doesn’t have a setup.cfg file at all.

For the use in pyproject.toml, you have to use the [tool.semantic_release] section (tool prepended).

Hope this helps!

The toml file is badly formatted. These are the correct changes:

version_source = "tag"
check_build_status = true
branch = "main"
changelog_file = "CHANGELOG.md"

The parsing fails but the errors are not reported. In settings.py, line 70 has a call to logger.debug which never appears on screen since logger is a <Logger semantic_release.settings (WARNING)> so anything below warning gets ignored. The code should read:

    except toml.TomlDecodeError as err:
        logger.error("Could not decode pyproject.toml: %s", err)
        return {}

Do you want me to create a PR for those chances or are they trivial enough?
