Replace Makefile with poe tasks in pyproject.toml

[nat-n]

Hi, GitHub randomly showed me this project which looks very useful.

Firstly, full disclosure: I'm the author of Poe the Poet. I created it because I saw the need for a more delightful alternative to using Makefiles in poetry projects. I would highlight the following advantages over make:

• simpler task declaration within the pyproject.toml without any boilerplate or peculiar syntax (.PHONY?)
• tasks are self documenting
• automatically runs tasks with poetry's venv (no need to specify poetry run) and can be installed directly into poetry as a plugin
• lots of features including much better support for defining task argument

It has a growing user base:

Maybe you like just like Makefiles, and that's fair, but if you're open to it I'd be happy to propose a PR to demonstrate what replacing the Makefile with poe tasks would look like in practice 🙂

Yes, I recognise you. I believe I've had a chat with you before in the issues of another project, some years ago.

For the time being I'm not particularly interested, and the Makefile is mostly there just in case I happen to be on a Linux system and find it more convenient (honestly it's probably outdated anyway, I rarely touch it). Feel free to fork the project and add your modifications though, perhaps you can convince me otherwise.

On a mostly unrelated note, I've currently focused on getting proper logging configuration working in the template (in a form that can be easily removed, such as if working on a library), if you happen to have time on your hands feel free to take a look at that. I've been a bit too busy with work lately to really work on free time projects.
