[issue42405] Add distutils mvsccompiler support for Windows ARM64 build

[Steve Dower]

Jason, this issue and the associated PR are out of date and should not be merged.

The PR also only affects completely unused code, so it has no value whatsoever being in CPython. I don't really care too much about the unused code, but I will *insist* on the NEWS entry being reverted, to avoid causing confusion.

(As an aside, I'd love setuptools to gain this functionality, and I'm trying to get access to hardware for you so you can validate it in CI.)
