Fix installation on case-insensitive OSes by dynamically skipping legacy MaxText directory

[igorts-git]

Description

Workaround for case-insensitive OSes where "maxtext" and "MaxText" directory names conflict.

• Enable custom build hook in pyproject.toml.
• Update build_hooks.py to skip src/MaxText on case-insensitive OSes while maintaining legacy support on Linux.
• Added a note that MaxText is only testing on Linux during releases.
• Piggybacking on this PR, also added maxtext_venv/ to .gitignore. This is the name of the venv directory that our documentation instructs users to use.

FIXES: #3441

Tests

Linux Wheel Parity Test.
To ensure that the generated package for Linux remains exactly the same as before, I ran the following commands on a Linux environment:

# 1. Build the wheel
pip wheel . --no-deps -w dist/
# 2. Verify the contents of the generated wheel
unzip -l dist/maxtext-0.2.1-py3-none-any.whl > /tmp/file_structure.txt

# Manually compared the files before and after this PR to ensure that they are identical.
