prereq-build: require python3-distutils
Debian and Ubuntu ship a python3-minimal package which does not include the distutils module. This is not supported by upstream and can be considered a broken python distribution. In practice, many scripts depend on said module, and this is a reoccuring pain point for building various OpenWrt packages. Require and check for said module, enough time has been wasted on this.
