distutils2 commands should stop if at least Name and Version metadatas are not provided in setup.cfg

For now you'll get a UNKNOWN-UNKNOWN.tar.gz

Thanks for the report and fix (da2f3527ef02).  I think you wanted to use a global object to list required fields, but you defined it without using it:

_345_REQUIRED = ('Name', 'Version')
[...]
-        for attr in ('Name', 'Version', 'Home-page'):
+
+        for attr in ('Name', 'Version'):

gawel confirmed on IRC that this was an oversight.  On second thought, I decided to remove the constant, which I deemed unneeded: it doesn’t save time for programmers (there is code checking various subsets of the fields everywhere, just one constant does not reduce code significantly), and I don’t think it saves computer time either (local literals vs. global lookup—unprofiled though).  Alexis pulled my change (7e1118583e5f).
