gh-92584: Remove the distutils package (#99061)
Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632 "Deprecate distutils module". For projects still using distutils and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can be installed: it still provides distutils. * Remove Lib/distutils/ directory * Remove test_distutils * Remove references to distutils * Skip test_check_c_globals and test_peg_generator since they use distutils
