setuptools provides a local copy of distutils and when building a C
extension, this distutils will add the target LIBDIR (/usr/lib) to the
list of library paths.
If the build system has a libpython3.11.so in /usr/lib, then the linker
will try to link to this shared library and fail.
This adapts 008-distutils-use-python-sysroot.patch for host setuptools
to add the correct library directory.

Packaging setuptools from a separate source package allows it to stay
updated with upstream.
Host setuptools will remain installed as part of python3. Host
setuptools is used in a much more controlled way and so is less critical
for it to track upstream.
setuptools was in a separate source package that was removed in
a53d0c5a403d1669e2cf6c59c2be6a9d3ed633a0; this work is not based on that
earlier package.
