Subject: [PATCH] skip verifying the availability of setuptools

The setup script checks is setuptools is available (with the correct minimum
version), using setuptool's pkg_resouces modules. Setuptools has dropped
this module in version 82, making this import fail.

This patch skips the availability check of Setuptools, it is expected to be
always available from oe-core - the patch itself is oe-specific.

Upstream has already prepared a solution to rework their setup script to
work with the latest Setuptools, however that patch builds on several other
patches.

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-specific]
