Bug#1059671: python3-capstone: Python 3.12 has no module named 'distutils'

Control: tags -1 + patch

Hi Maintainer

It turns out the usage of distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() was
already patched out in a previous patch [1].

I believe all that is required here is patching out the import of
distutils.sysconfig:

...and dropping the dependency on python3-distutils:
