Recently users of newer distributions who build Noetic from source noticed issues when importing setup from distutils.core.
This problem was discussed on Discourse, and we hope that we can make the needed updates to Noetic to allow for future builds from source of Noetic.
As a first step, this PR introduces changes from the Noetic Migration Guide that addresses the change to the setuptools module instead of distutils.core and the corresponding buildtool_depend tags for python 2&3.
