Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: Use setuptools over setuptools._distutils.core

Drop all usage of setuptools._distutils in favor of pure setuptools.
This effectively solves the problems that were present in the attempt
in https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/pull/1585 and
https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/pull/1700.
