fix: publication to PyPiTest

[qdelamea-aneo]

Motivation

The project workflow dedicated to publishing test versions on test.pypi.org fails when a pull request is updated without adding new commits to the previous ones.

Description

This change fixes this issue by generating a unique version each time the pipeline is run. This solution is a work around that uses setup.py. This is not ideal and a better solution should be implemented when possible. For more details on the reasons for this change, see:

• this stack overflow thread on the limitations of setuptools_scm.
• this page in the setuptools-scm documentation describing how to customize a version.

Testing

Tested using the CI.

Impact

Project test versions are available on test.pypi.org for each run of the publish workflow.
