feat(pypi): incrementally build platform configuration

Before this PR the configuration for platforms would be built
non-incrementally, making it harder for users to override particular
attributes of the already configured ones.

With this PR the new features introduced in bazel-contrib#3058 will be easier to
override.

Work towards bazel-contrib#2747
