The new FindPython-based variant of the CMake scripts caches information
about the chosen Python version that can become stale. For example,
suppose I configure a simple pybind11-based project as follows
```
cmake -S . -B build -GNinja -DPython_ROOT=<path to python 3.8>
```
which will generate `my_extension.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`.
A subsequent change to the python version like
```
cmake -S . -B build -GNinja -DPython_ROOT=<path to python 3.9>
```
does not update all necessary build system information. In particular,
the compiled file is still called
`my_extension.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`.
This commit fixes the problem by detecting changes in
`Python_EXECUTABLE` and re-running Python as needed.
Note that the previous way of detecting Python does not seem to be
affected, it always specifies the right suffix.
* Fix STATIC and SHARED flags not being detected
* fix: use classic naming for all lib types

Sometimes programmers want to control this, and while it can be changed after the fact, it's commonly set via a CMAKE_ variable; if that variable is set, we should respect that (like the CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION setting).
* fix: match new extension discovery with changes to classic discovery
Followup to #2638 - this was fixed in 2.6.0, but only for classic Python
* fix: followup to avoid warnings
On very incomplete python installations (e.g. within Docker), it's
possible that distutils is not installed. In that case, the
``execute_command`` statement that queries distutils for the Python
module extension fails, and pybind11 uses the empty string. This commit
adds an extra check that causes a CMake failure with more actionable
information (just spent a lot of time trying to track down this problem :))

* docs: discuss making SDists by hand
* ci: use pep517.build instead of manual setup.py
* refactor: more comments from @YannickJadoul
* docs: updates from @ktbarrett
* fix: change to newly recommended tool instead of pep517.build
This was intended as a proof of concept; build seems to be the correct replacement.
