Use literal strings in setup.cfg

tomschr · tomschr · commit 6a5ba3267fa9 · 2020-11-01T23:05:08.000+01:00
Due to https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide/declarative_config.html#metadata we cannot use the "attr:" type in the keywords author, author_email, maintainer, description, and maintainer_email. If we do not change it to literal strings, twine (or PyPI) complains about the metadata with the following error: HTTPError: 400 Client Error: 'attr: semver.__about__.__author_email__' is an invalid value for Author-email.
