Drop legacy distutils in setup.py

distutils is not recommended for use and unnecessary for modern Python
environments. Use only setuptools instead. From
https://docs.python.org/3/library/distutils.html:

> Most Python users will not want to use this module directly, but
> instead use the cross-version tools maintained by the Python Packaging
> Authority. In particular, setuptools is an enhanced alternative to
> distutils ...
>
> The recommended pip installer runs all setup.py scripts with
> setuptools, even if the script itself only imports distutils. Refer to
> the Python Packaging User Guide for more information.
