Pin setuptools to a known working version

[JCGoran]

Same as #3006 but for master.
The problem happens when we build the docs (see for example here), with the strange stack trace:

  File "/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.12.4/x64/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/_core_metadata.py", line 284, in _distribution_fullname
    canonicalize_version(version, strip_trailing_zero=False),
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: canonicalize_version() got an unexpected keyword argument 'strip_trailing_zero'

I think the problem is this setuptools commit, in which they start using from packaging.utils import canonicalize_version, and since we install packaging==21.2 (see #2706 for the explanation), which doesn't have the argument strip_trailing_zero, we get the error above. Using an older version of setuptools fixes the issue.

Why do we install packaging seems to be part of setuptools.

Why do we install packaging seems to be part of setuptools.

See #2706 for why we need a specific version of packaging.

Sad but ok.
