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
Under certain build conditions, test_check_c_globals fails. This fix takes the same approach as we took for gh-84236 (via gh-20095). We'll be removing use of distutils in the c-analyzer at some point. Until then we'll hide the warning filter.
This is partly a cleanup of the code. It also is preparation for getting the variables from the source (cross-platform) rather than from the symbols.
The change only touches the tool (and its tests).
