Currently only pure python wheels are supported.

This extension builds wheels directly, invoking a simple python script
that creates the zip archive in the desired format instead of using
distutils/setuptools.

This will make building platform-dependent wheels easier in the future,
as bazel will have full control on how extension code is built.
