See #354. This change eliminates the DeprecationWarning during the build.
This does not remove every reference to distutils but I believe that any remaining references to distutils will continue to work after distutils is removed in Python 3.12 because of the distutils_hack in setuptools.
Many of the distutils references are related to choosing the c compiler in windows, since I do not have a local windows machine for testing I did not put any effort into windows. I did verify this change builds on windows on AppVeyor. I also have not tested on mac.
A few of the distutils references have open issues or fixes in newer versions of setuptools. I added comments to the setuptools issues and left the distutils code in for now so we are compatible with older versions of setuptools.
