tests: use packaging from setuptools instead of deprecated distutils

When invoking StrictVersion in 3.12 we got:
    DeprecationWarning: distutils Version classes are deprecated. Use packaging.version instead.

distutils is dead in the standard library, and we have to move towards using
`setuptools` as general extern dependency. Instead of also requiring the extern
`packaging`, we will just use the packaging that is vendored in setuptools.

# A portable replacement for 'seq'
#
# Usage:
#   seq STOP              [1, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STOP        [START, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STEP STOP   [START, STOP] stepping by STEP
