Unable to pip install dev mode after our tag releases

[edyoshikun]

I was unable to install iohub to a fresh conda environment with pip install -e .
I think we will have to drop the custom tag (0.1.0.dev3) and use some standard versioning scheme. I think it supports 0.1.0.dev0 but not 0.1.0.dev3.

Might need to tell setuptools_scm to stop inferring dev version numbers.

This issue seems to be only affecting developers.
