The distutils package is deprecated. The upstream libfdt repo uses setuptools for building the pylibfdt module, so bring in that code, suitably modified for U-Boot. Also bring in the README.
The modifications include setting the version correctly, making use of the environment variables provided by the Makefile and various tweaks to the directories.
Note that the version omits the minus character at the start of EXTRAVERSION, since this creates a warning. The build is really just used within U-Boot itself, so it doesn't matter too much if the version matches upstream, or exactly matches U-Boot.

This isn't new enough, however: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/installer.py:27: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setuptools.installer is deprecated. Requirements should be satisfied by a PEP 517 installer. when trying in Ubuntu 22.04 (the trini/u-boot-gitlab-ci-runner:jammy-20220531-13Jul2022 docker specifically).
