[Bug 268283] databases/py-sqlite3: switch away from distutils

Oh, my bad then. Bugzilla's, to be precise.

> Python 3.12 has not even reached release candidate yet

This is not relevant to adding it to the tree, the same way how previous
prereleases were added (and helped a lot to prepare the tree for the new python
version).

> setup.py is deprecated along with distutils getting removed, so continuing to use the former is not acceptable, even if it does not error out.

This is nonsence, as "continuing to use" setup.py's for these ports is the only
thing which keeps them working. As long as setup.py's are in place, these
should be maintained and kept functioning, that's what I do. There's no
alternative to them.

Please provide a valid reason for it to be rolled back, such as it breaks
something or it blocks someone's work. For now it looks like you're trying to
block both my and Wen's, who did similar python3.12 port in parallel.
