distutils.strtobool deprecation

[sjsadowski]

Describe the bug
he distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. PEP 632

Code snippet
sanic/server/loop.py

Expected behavior
A lack of warnings about deprecation

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: All
• Version: All supported as of 2022/01/23

Additional context
This is housekeeping to clean up a core python deprecation.

[sjsadowski]

Note: Even though this is an exceptionally minor fix, I don't feel like this should be backported to 20.12LTS. 20.12LTS will sunset long before 3.12 is past alpha (and possibly before 3.11.0 final hits, depending on if the timeline in PEP 664 is hit or not) and that makes it likely that 21.12LTS will be the only backport needed, if any.

[ahopkins]

No backport will be needed because 21.12 does not (an will not) purport to support 3.12. It is 3.7-3.10 and that will not change. We probably should add Python versions here: https://sanic.dev/en/org/policies.html#release-schedule.

I think we still need to fix this, right? Any update?

[ahopkins]

This is still something to do, just not something that we need to release back to the LTS.

[sjsadowski]

I'll resurrect this, completely forgot about it.

This is still an issue:

from distutils.util import strtobool

Anyone want to take a crack at this in the next couple days to get into the LTS?
