Python 3.12+ compatible, get rid of distutils in py

[maximvelichko]

Remove distutils from Python code, so it can be used with Python 3.12+. (Not converted distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib to e.g. sysconfig.get_path)

Presently pyamcrest does not work with Home Assistant for recent months, as they now require Python 3.12+

Hi @tchellomello , may I get a review, please?

This broke test_str2bool, because it expects ValueError for strings that are not trutyh/falsy.

self = <tests.test_utils.TestUtils testMethod=test_str2bool>

    def test_str2bool(self):
        """Test return code from utils.str2bool."""
        self.assertTrue(str2bool('y'))
        self.assertTrue(str2bool('Y'))
        self.assertTrue(str2bool('yes'))
