We claim that libgpiod python bindings have no dependencies other than
the python standard library but this is not true - the tests do depend
on deprecated distutils for kernel version parsing.
As distutils is deprecated, the recommended improvement is to use the
Version class from packaging.version but this would too entail pulling
in an external module.
Let's instead implement the kernel version check in C using uname() and
put it into the tests.system extension. This allows us to entirely drop
the distutils import.

Since their inclusion in Python 3.6, f-strings have become the preferred
way to format strings with variable values as they are generally more
readable as the value substitution is in place and doesn't have to be
parsed from the list or arguments to `.format()`.
Where it does not impact readability (when the line is <120 characters),
swap usage of `.format()` to an f-string.
For lines that are not converted, inform the linter to ignore attempts
to upgrade those instances to f-strings [0]

The presence of _distutils in setuptools is an implementation detail. If
we want anything from the distutils package, we should import it directly.

We currently require the third-party packaging module to be installed in
order to run tests. Let's instead use the version parser that's already
available in setuptools.

This commit is the result of a squash of all the commits created during
the development of libgpiod v2. This is done to preserve bisectability
of the git tree. It contains significant re-writes of the core C library
as well as C++ and python bindings. The tools have been adjusted to work
with the new API but have not undergone significant changes yet.
This commit contains the bulk of the work on libgpiod v2 but the
development continues with more changes planned.
