[issue1635217] Warn against using requires/provides/obsoletes in setup.py

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

It may be good to document that requires/provides/obsoletes are effectively unused.

It is not appropriate for stdlib doc to talk about install_requires, which is specific to setuptools, and it’s better to talk about the new standard fields from PEP 345 anyway.
