I expect this change to have minimal impact on users of Setuptools as a build tool because DeprecationWarnings are suppressed by default.

This PR fixes mutable-global-state-related issues with the egg-based
tests (again).

The root cause of the problems is that we're interfacing with an
ill-defined (and now
[deprecated](pypa/setuptools#3843) and
unmaintained) API in `setuptools` code, which makes those interactions
fragile, and that tests make significant changes to global state.

The immediate cause of the issues is that we were trying to undo changes
to `pkg_resources` global state by replacing the global
`pkg_resources.working_set` with a fresh `WorkingSet` object during test
teardown, but that `WorkingSet` object was missing some of the
initialization (registered callbacks) that the original `WorkingSet`
had.

The main change in this PR is to try to undo global state changes by
_mutating_ the existing `pkg_resources.working_set` back to its original
state, instead of replacing `pkg_resources.working_set`. Alongside that,
we've reorganised the relevant tests to share common machinery (now in
`envisage.tests.support`) and to make use of context managers for
cleanup.

Fixes #440 
Fixes #563 
The test suite also now runs cleanly under the `haas` test runner.

6c008a2 script: replace deprecated pkg_resources with importlib.metadata (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  Running our python linter with a recent python and the latest release of setuptools [v68.1.2](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html):

  ```
  $ python3 --version
  Python 3.11.5
  $ ./test/lint/lint-python.py:12: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API.
    See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
    import pkg_resources
  ```

  Using `pkg_resources` was [deprecated](pypa/setuptools#3843) earlier in [v67.5.0](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#id55): "Although pkg_resources has been discouraged for use, some projects still consider pkg_resources viable for usage. This change makes it clear that pkg_resources should not be used, emitting a DeprecationWarning when imported."

  The `importlib.metadata` library requires Python 3.8, which is currently our minimum-supported Python version.

  For more details about `importlib.metadata` and the two methods imported and used here, see:
