[libgpiod][PATCH] bindings: python: drop distutils from build_tests.py

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

The configure() function in setuptools.logging has been available since
v61.0.0 release so for over 2,5 years. We can generally expect users of
python bindings to be using relatively recent versions of required
dependencies. At the same time distutils has long been deprecated.

Let's keep the try: guard for setuptools.logging.configure but instead
of importing distutils if the former is unavailable, just do nothing and
drop the deprecated import altogether.
