Write prerequisites section for new packaging tutorials

[ddbeck]

(For more information about this issue, please see #194).

We need a short section to follow the tutorial introduction (see #195) that makes sure the user has a working Python environment. This should line up with what's in Install pip, setuptools, and wheel, but using a more step-by-step approach (rather than the more self-directed approach of the other section). Additionally, it would be nice to have a step (or steps) that help readers verify that the tools are working.

@aryan-harsh Yes, it seems like there's a lot left to do on this stuff. I don't have a lot of time for this project at the moment, but if you open PR, feel free to tag me and I'll see if I can at least give it a review. Thank you!
