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.
