This PR adds a necessary dependency for the jinja2 and pytest packages we already vendor. It also allows us to do fancy things in the PythonPackage base class, like automatically detect which libraries to try to import (coming in a follow-up PR).

Setuptools includes a few vendored dependencies of its own (appdirs, packaging, pyparsing, six). We could remove these, or move them to lib/spack/external, but that would require hacking the setuptools code to import them normally.

Closes #9034
Follow-up of #9261

Ping @scheibelp, we need to decide on whether or not we want this.

Ping @scheibelp, we need to decide on whether or not we want this.

I have added a response to the discussion in #9034 (comment), IMO those concerns should be resolved before we proceed with this
