Resolves #1698
In CPython 3.10 `distutils` was formally marked as deprecated and it will be removed from CPython in 3.12. To avoid complications, deprecate use of `distutils` moving forward in favor of using `setuptools` as recommended.
For Python 3.7+ (which should by default have `pip` `v22.0.0+` and `setuptools` `v57.5.0+`) use:
* `setuptools._distutils.core` over `distutils.core`
* CPython's `sysconfig` library over `distutils.sysconfig`
If `setuptools._distutils` (added in setuptools v48.0.0) is not available in the Python 3 environment, fall back to using `distutils.core` and `distutils.sysconfig`.
For Python < 3.7 (so Python 3.6 only for all intents and purposes) fall back to `distutils.sysconfig` in the event that `setuptools` is `v48.0.0+`.
Additional supporting advice given in:
* https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html
* https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#migration-advice
PR #1691 should go in first, so putting this in draft mode for now.
