Add new CI job which builds the release artifact, remove MANIFEST.in

[Kami]

Description

This pull request adds a new GHA job as part of the CI workflow which builds the release artifacts and verifies it.

As part of the verification step, we run the following check:

• Verify tarball exists
• Verify wheel exists
• Verify tarball contents are correct by running the tests (tests should pass)
• Verify wheel contents are correct by running the tests (tests should pass)

In addition to the CI changes, I fixed and improved pyproject.toml file and removed MANIFEST.in in favor of inclusion directives defined directly in the pyproject.toml file.

This was done for future proofing reasons and because I noticed that the behavior with MANIFEST.in file is not consistent in different environments aka builds are not fully reproducible (e.g. on CI, the contents of the tarball was different than contents of the tarball created locally).
