distutils Version classes and other deprecation warnings on building

[juliangilbey]

When building dateutil in a Debian unstable chroot, the following DeprecationWarning and other warnings are raised. (This is using setuptools-scm 8.0.4.)

<<BUILDDIR>>/python-dateutil-2.9.0/setup.py:18: DeprecationWarning: distutils Version classes are deprecated. Use packaging.version instead.
  if LooseVersion(setuptools.__version__) <= LooseVersion("24.3"):
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/config/setupcfg.py:293: _DeprecatedConfig: Deprecated config in `setup.cfg`
!!

        ********************************************************************************
        The license_file parameter is deprecated, use license_files instead.

        This deprecation is overdue, please update your project and remove deprecated
        calls to avoid build errors in the future.

        See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/declarative_config.html for details.
