Add an estimated date for removing setuptools.dep_util #4131

Right now we have a warning that is easily to miss out:

In the past we were criticised because of the lack of visibility (#3780), so maybe we should promote this to a SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning.

Yes, I agree. Thanks for catching that. 6 months for a due date seems suitable me. Feel free to tackle it or I'll get to it eventually.
