setup: fall back to setuptools setup if distutils isn't available
The setuptools comments around this seems slightly outdated. Setuptools is
improving and distutils is being deprecated, so it should perhaps be the
default. But at least, it is a fair fallback.

Mercurial ========= Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers. Basic install:: $ make # see install targets $ make install # do a system-wide install $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup $ hg # see help Running without installing:: $ make local # build for inplace usage $ ./hg --version # should show the latest version See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information. Notes for packagers =================== Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
