DING-2770

Overview

The setup.py file was using pip's internal API (pip._internal.req.parse_requirements) to read requirements.txt. This causes build failures with modern pip (22+) and Python 3.13+ because:

• pip's internal APIs are not available in isolated build environments
• Modern pip uses build isolation by default
• Results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip' during package installation

This PR replaces the pip internal API usage with a simple function that reads requirements.txt directly, maintaining the same functionality while being compatible with all Python and pip versions.

Testing

• Tested that requirements are correctly parsed and passed to install_requires
