BLD: macOS 3.5 wheel build on master started failing

[robbuckley]

Problem description

rebuilding the last release 0.25.1 without any changes results in the macOS 3.5 build failing https://travis-ci.com/robbuckley/pandas-wheels/jobs/244876276.

This seems to be due to pypa/setuptools#1320 / pypa/packaging-problems#134. A simple workaround is to install the latest pip and affected packages (only setuptools_scm AFAICT) before they are pulled in as setup_requires dependencies, as per pypa/packaging-problems#134 (comment)

more information: its only python 3.5 builds on macOS that are affected.

easy_install, used for setup_requires dependencies, uses the system openssl up to python 3.5. On macOS that hasnt been updated in a long while, and only supports TLS1.0/ 1.1 The issue was exposed when pypi recently stopped allowing TLS<1.2.

python.org 3.6+ builds include their own openssl build supporting TLS1.2, avoiding the issue. pip has another fix since version 9.0.3 (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#id221)
