Deprecations of distutils and bist_msi and bdist_rpm in setuptools

[Cimbali]

Just to make you aware of this deprecations and maybe discuss what could need to be done:

• PEP 632 deprecates the distutils module
• setuptools commands such as bdist_msi that are extended by cx_Freeze (and maybe others like bdist_dmg) are being deprecated in setuptools

I'm aware. I referenced it in PR #1195. But in #1055, #1196, and possibly others, I've been changing some code.

Before the release of python 3.11 (in a year) I plan to include this code in cx_Freeze. I intend to port the code that works today on python 3.8 (which doesn't have the deprecations of py 3.9). We have to check the license.

Recently I merged bdist_rpm and bdist_msi in the code base of cx_Freeze. Also, I made various changes to get rid of distutils calls.
