Publish an sdist on PyPI

[jayvdb]

Overview of issue:

PyPI only currently has wheels. i.e. https://pypi.org/project/apigentools/#files

These are not suitable for using with packaging tools.

Also it is not easy to use github tarballs as an alternative, as the following error occurs:

[   17s] Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.
[   17s] 
[   17s] For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

That suggestion doesnt work when building a package in an offline VM to ensure proper build isolation.
