Fixes #1580.

Adds the ability to pass extra arguments to the build frontend using an option like CIBW_BUILD_FRONTEND=pip; args: --no-build-isolation. The mini-syntax is the same as CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINE.

I liked this approach because it adds extra flexibility to the existing CIBW_BUILD_FRONTEND option in a backward-compatible way. Also, options are always going to be different between pip and build, so it makes sense to nest those within this option - if you change the build frontend, you have to change the args too.

I think this is fine. No build isolation does seem common/useful enough to make its own flag, but having this flexibility is useful (for example, you can select whether to validate the non-isolated environment).
