Migrate setup.py from distutils to setuptools

[codesue]

distutils will be removed in Python 3.12 and there's an existing TODO to remove it from MCT's setup.py.

Refer to PEP 632 for migration advice.

is this still active ?

Hi @BhavyaBh289, after looking into this some more, it seems there isn't a good setuptools alternative yet for distutils.command.build, and we can continue to use distutils through setuptools' bundled copy after it's removed from the standard library. See pypa/setuptools#2928. This is still up for grabs, but the only work required now is to delete the TODO comment.
