python: Replace deprecated setup.py with pypa/build+pip

When setuptools>58.2.0 setup.py installation is a deprecated method, a warning
message will be prompted [1]:

    $ sudo make install
    ....
    running install
    /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py:66:
    SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated.
    !!

            ********************************************************************************
            Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
            Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
            standards-based tools.

            See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details.

    !!

            ********************************************************************************
            Please avoid running ``setup.py`` and ``easy_install``.
            Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
            standards-based tools.

            See pypa/setuptools#917 for details.

Use the recommended solution [2] to replace setup.py with pypa/build and
pip-install to completely solve the problem. It is worth noting that under
Debian, you need to add the --break-system-packages parameter to pip-uninstall,
as shown in the following prompt:

    Debian12:~$ sudo pip3 uninstall bcc
    error: externally-managed-environment

    × This environment is externally managed
    ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
        python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
        install.

        If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
        create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
        Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
        sure you have python3-full installed.

        If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
        it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
        virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

        See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

    note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python
    installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the
    risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing
    --break-system-packages.
    hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

    # Successfully uninstalled
    Debian12:~$ sudo pip3 uninstall bcc --break-system-packages
