    tools/python: convert setup.py to use setuptools if available
    
    Python distutils is deprecated and is going to be removed in Python
    3.12. Add support for setuptools.
    
    Setuptools in Python 3.11 complains:
    
      SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build 
and pip and other standards-based tools.
    
    Keep using setup.py anyway to build the C extension.
