serge-sans-paille 7cc44b55a0 Bug 1858062 - Remove reference to distutils in mozboot r=saschanaz
distutils is no longer available in Python 3.12, which means we cannot
require it on bootstrap, otherwise we cannot bootstrap from Py 3.12.

We already require setuptools as part of mach's requirements, so it's
fine to depend on setuptools elsewhere.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
