Build a wheel once, for all test environments

[kurtmckee]

The test suite currently builds a .tar.gz file, but when it's installed in each tox environment, pip converts the .tar.gz file to a wheel and then installs it.

This PR eliminates the intermediary .tar.gz file and just builds the wheel once for all environments.

For verification, you can run tox -vvvvve py312 before and after.

Note

CI is failing, but it is unrelated to this change. The test suite fails locally prior to this change, too.

Friendly reminder to take a peek at this. 😀

When running tox locally, this reduces the total test time by ~40% (from ~44 seconds to ~26 seconds):
