Update test_peg_generator to not need distutils & reenable it

distutils was removed from 3.12, as per PEP 632.
test_peg_generator, which uses it, was disabled. It should be updated to not need distutils.

See #92584

I'd like to work on this I looked through test_peg_generator but I could not find any test that importing distuils

@Yhg1s, this feels like a release blocker. Thoughts?

@ramvikrams, distutils is used in Tools/peg_generator/pegen/build.py, which I'm guessing is exercised by tests under Lib/test/test_peg_generator. See the comment in Lib/test/test_peg_generator/__init__.py.

FYI, we may want to solve this in a way that can be shared between the c-analyzer and peg_generator tools. See #92584 (comment).

Yes, I consider this a release blocker for the betas (#92584 is left open as a release blocker for this reason).

[ramvikrams]

I looked through the file but I had a question should I replace distutils with setuptools in Tools/peg_generator/pegen/build.py
