This will allow to reuse it in later commits. Change the function to return a pathlib.Path instead of a string because that is what is used internally and because it is easy to turn that into a string when needed, but it is a bit more cumbersome to do the opposite.
These tests used `build` to invoke the `setuptools.build_meta` build backend on a package directory generated on the fly. The tests are only interested in the content of the package metadata and use variations of `setup.cfg` to generate the desired metadata. This can be simplified to the direct generation of sdist archives with synthetic `PKG-INFO` metadata files. This makes the actual metadata the tests are checking obvious and avoid two test dependencies. The tests simplification highlighted that two tests are actually testing the exact same thing. Remove one.
