update python code

[davidpanderson]

Need to rewrite this to use current python library:

python setup.py build --build-base=../py
/home/boincadm/boinc/py/setup.py:3: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
from distutils.core import setup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/boincadm/boinc/py/setup.py", line 3, in
from distutils.core import setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'

I'll try this one

So basically change:

#! /usr/bin/env python

from setuptools import setup

setup(name = 'Boinc',
      version = '@PACKAGE_VERSION@',
      description = 'Python API for BOINC',
      url = 'http://boinc.berkeley.edu',
      packages = ['Boinc'],
      py_modules = ['boinc_path_config']
     )

workflows\linux-package.yml:

• name: Install dependencies
  run: |
  apt-get -qq update
  apt-get install -y make build-essential m4 pkg-config autoconf libtool git python3 setuptools curl zip unzip tar bison p7zip-full libx11-dev libxft-dev libxext-dev libdbus-1-dev libxi-dev libxtst-dev libxrandr-dev libnotify-dev

Created #5433 for this

Looks like there's more distutil references
