python3: drop deterministic_imports.patch

https://github.com/python/importlib_metadata/issues/489

Upstream discussion revealed that:

- the issue was happening due to a bug in setuptools

- the bug was fixed in setuptools 63 (I confirmed this: empty dist-info
directories no longer seem to trigger any issues if the patch is dropped)

- the patch would obscure any further issues of this kind instead of exposing them
for easy fixing, so they suggest we drop it and report if anything else pops up

-Subject: [PATCH] python3: Ensure stale empty python module directories don't
-
-There are two issues here. Firstly, the modules are accessed in on disk order. This
-means behaviour seen on one system might not reproduce on another and is a real headache.
-
-Secondly, empty directories left behind by previous modules might be looked at. This
-has caused a long string of different issues for us.
-
-As a result, patch this to a behaviour which works for us.
-
-Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/120492; need to first talk to upstream to see if they'll take one or both fixes]
