Motivation/backstory: I was reading https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2023/10/30/my-user-experience-porting-off-setup.py/ (it was shared @ pypa/packaging.python.org#1468) and it got me puzzled — I thought I'd gotten rid of all the prominent places newbies may copy-and-paste the suggestion to depend on |

PEP 517 doesn't mandate depending on `wheel` when a `__legacy__` setuptools fallback is used. Historically, it used to be assumed as necessary, but later it turned out to be wrong. The reason is that `setuptools`' `get_requires_for_build_wheel()` hook already injects this dependency when building wheels is requested [[1]]. It also used to have this hint in the docs, but it was corrected earlier [[2]]. This patch removes `wheel` from said `requires` list fallback. [1]: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/v40.8.0/setuptools/build_meta.py#L130 [2]: pypa/setuptools#3056
