Title: Setup_helper adjustments

This is a minor change in ``setup_helpers.py`` to get rid of the `is_in_build_mode` and `set_build_mode` functions. Most of the setup stuff seems to use the `_ASTROPY_SETUP_` variable directly, so these functions are not really necessary.

This is probably primarily of interest mainly to @mdboom @iguananaut @astrofrog as people involved somewhat in this code.
