MLBEDSW-6982: Move to setup.cfg and pyproject.toml3.7.0.rc1

- Move all static information from setup.py to newly added
  pyproject.toml
- Add setup.cfg used for static information that cannot be added to
  pyproject.toml due to it still being in beta.
- Modify mlw_codec to to throw a real python exception when importing
  NumPy arrays instead of just printing them to stdout.
- Surround mlw_codec import with try catch statement to catch NumPy C
  API mismatch errors and throw them again with a more detailed message.
- Update README.md with documentation about known issue with changing
  used NumPy version after installing ethos-u-vela.
