[issue43976] Allow Python distributors to add custom site install schemes

[Filipe Laíns]

Yes, but in the process of deprecating disutils, some internals were changed to stop relying on it. This will cause a lot of downstream patches to break.
I you are not modifying CPython, you don't need to worry, but if you are, then you should have a look and figure out how/where to patch it now.

As far as the public distutils API is concerned, everything will still the same until 3.12, just with deprecation warnings.
Development has moved to [1] and it will eventually be merged into setuptools.
