An increasing number of Python modules implicitly depend on the presence of distribution metadata (e.g. to ensure their dependencies are correctly installed). `.dist-info` directories can be added manually to `python_wheel`'s `outs` when required, although it is cumbersome to do so - besides, there really isn't any advantage to omitting `.dist-info` directories. When the `WheelDistInfo` plugin configuration option is enabled, `python_wheel` outputs the module's `.dist-info` directory. The option is disabled by default for now while we test it more thoroughly.
