[QUESTION] Check validity of setup.py in build

[dhermes]

H/T to http://inre.dundeemt.com/2014-05-17/pypi-setup-py-keeping-a-dry-long_description/ (I was Googling around for DRY in setup.py)

python setup.py check --restructuredtext --strict

---

For example, running it on the post #2442 version gives:

$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext --strict
running check
warning: check: Duplicate implicit target name: "contributing".

warning: check: Duplicate implicit target name: "license".

error: Please correct your package.

because we have sections named license and contributing as well as links with those names. This could be fixed via

diff --git a/README.rst b/README.rst
index 715368b..bbf0f72 100644

We should do this. Google-auth does it.

@jonparrott Jinx! I'm going to send a PR for adding this to nox -e lint for the subpackages. Should I add a nox -e lint for the top-level package?

I would prefer it be a separate nox session if possible.
