fastentrypoints enforces dependencies

[Robert Sachunsky]

In #882 we introduced fastentrypoints, replacing pkg_resources so our processors would spin up faster.

However, it seems that this causes the entry point to put a hard constraint on all package requirements, e.g. when using Torch 2.0.1 despite Kraken allowing only <1.14 (for no good reason BTW):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'torch<1.14,>=1.11' distribution was not found and is required by kraken

This goes away when replacing the entry point by the simple direct importer again.
