serge-sans-paille 7cc44b55a0 Bug 1858062 - Remove reference to distutils in mozboot r=saschanaz
distutils is no longer available in Python 3.12, which means we cannot
require it on bootstrap, otherwise we cannot bootstrap from Py 3.12.

We already require setuptools as part of mach's requirements, so it's
fine to depend on setuptools elsewhere.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py -o bootstrap.py
    python bootstrap.py

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
