[issue41282] Deprecate and remove distutils

[Paul Ganssle]

Oops, just realized my previous post said `pip install distutils`. I meant to say that `pip install setuptools` will provide the `distutils` module (right now you do `import setuptools; import distutils` and you get the setuptools-provided version; we're working on a version where `import distutils` comes from `setuptools` regardless of the import order).
