The old [files]scripts method of specifying executable Python scripts
triggers some legacy easy-install-like mode for editable installs,
which relies on pkg_resources. Recent versions of setuptools (67.5.0+)
have started emitting warnings when importing pkg_resources, which in
turn cause quite noticeable slowdowns in process startup. This is
particularly prominant on py312, which stopped pre-installing (an often
older version of) setuptools in new venvs.

Now, use [entry_points]console_scripts to specify these executables,
which does not use pkg_resources in the generated script files.
