sage_setup: Replace imports from distutils by setuptools

[mkoeppe]

... in anticipation of the distutils deprecation (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0632/)

From https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html

• distutils.core.setup → setuptools.setup
• distutils.cmd.Command → setuptools.Command
• distutils.log → (no replacement yet)
• distutils.version.* → packaging.version.*

"If a project relies on uses of distutils that do not have a suitable replacement above, please search the Setuptools issue tracker and file a request, describing the use-case so that Setuptools’ maintainers can investigate."

This works for me when building Sage and when upgrading sagelib from 9.3.beta6 to 9.3.beta7, or from building the develop branch to building this one. What else should I test?

I've used it for a while now, I wouldn't know what else to test either.

The title shows that the ticket is very specific, are there other tickets I have missed for:

• setup.py
• sage/misc/cython.py
• sage/env.py
• documentation mentioning distutils specifically
