[meta-python][PATCH 4/5] python3-wxgtk4: Skip the pep517-backend QA check

wxPython's pyproject.toml declares setuptools.build_meta, so do_check_backend
warns:

  QA Issue: inherits setuptools3 but has pyproject.toml with
  setuptools.build_meta, use the correct class [pep517-backend]

Switching to python_setuptools_build_meta is not possible though. The sdist
ships a build.py in its top level directory which shadows the "build" module
that pyproject-build imports itself, so do_compile dies before it even looks
at the recipe:

  File ".../recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/pyproject-build", line 5, in <module>
    from build.__main__ import entrypoint
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'build.__main__'; 'build' is not a package
