Rather than listing
cmake
andninja
build requirements unconditionally, add them tosetup_requires
when they are necessary -- that is, when using skbuild and when the system installations of these tools are not available. This avoids installing the packages unnecessarily, and improves portability by using downstream patched CMake version when available.
