setuptools win32 breakage

[totaam]

It's not a bug, it's a feature: Drop support for self upgrade/installation.

And here what it looks like:

$ PYTHON=python2 sh win32/MINGW_BUILD.sh
Python 2.7.15
Python2 version

Xpra 2.5-[r20978](../commit/7adb5ba59d887834589ab965cbcb1282bbeae93c) (64-bit)

Workaround is to use pip to re-install setuptools, which fixes whatever got wedged in there:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python2-pip mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip
pip2 install --upgrade setuptools --force-reinstall
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools --force-reinstall

Hopefully they'll fix setuptools and we can then remember to remove pip and the dozen dependencies it installed..

Happened again for some unknown reason.
Hacked around it by removing pkg_resources, setuptools and pyparsing from site-packages, then re-installing them using pip, finally copying pyparsing into pkg_resources/_vendor/, because reasons.
