distutils has been deprecated in Python 3.12

Hi!

Python 3.12 has dropped distutils. This isn't the end of the world for whipper, as it's only used here:

https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/blob/develop/whipper/command/main.py#L42-L45

Even so, this code will fail on 3.12 and should be replaced by something else.

Seems like we can do this to replace get_python_lib:

import sysconfig
sysconfig.get_path('platlib')

That was added in Python 3.2, so we could probably just rely on it.

Actually 'purelib' might be a better path/place for some of the plugins, but I haven't yet found a way to use /usr/local through sysconfig.
