Long story short: Python 3.7/3.8 on Fedora with setuptools v60.0.0+
together create a bug that ultimately causes pylint to fail. See the
first commit message for more detail.

I sent out a hotfix two weeks ago to fix this behavior on our CI, but
there's a better workaround. This adds the better workaround and reverts
the hotfix.

  Python: add setuptools v60.0 workaround

Assuming no news is good news. I'm staging this to my Python branch,
and intend to send a PR after I get an ACK on '[PATCH 0/4] iotests:
finalize switch to async QMP' -- so there's time to veto this if you
have concerns.
