[Bug 2065867] [NEW] mgr: failed dependency - no module named distutils

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

When running on noble with the snapshot of squid, the ceph-mgr has
errors on enabling specific modules - volume and dashboard.

$ sudo microceph.ceph status
  cluster:
    id:     4e3ff87c-5320-4494-9d3c-42e69cc11398
    health: HEALTH_WARN
            Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils'
            OSD count 0 < osd_pool_default_size 3
 
  services:
    mon: 1 daemons, quorum joplin.glenview.com (age 5s)
    mgr: joplin.glenview.com(active, starting, since 0.942931s)
    osd: 0 osds: 0 up, 0 in
 
  data:
    pools:   0 pools, 0 pgs
    objects: 0 objects, 0 B
    usage:   0 B used, 0 B / 0 B avail
    pgs:   

distutils as a standalone package was removed from noble - the ceph
codebase makes quite a bit of use of distuils still which gets picked up
by the distutils_hack in setuptools but not in the context of the mgr
daemon.
