[libgpiod][PATCH] bindings: python: remove wheel from build dependencies

[Vincent Fazio]

The `wheel` package is not actually a build dependency for the project
since it is not imported during setup.

The `setuptools` documentation [0] says it was documented as required at
one point and that most packages have cargo culted the inclusion.
