To mitigate the following windows long path issue found in
https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/34513. Using `pyb` instead of
`python_build` saves 9 characters.

`Distribution Tests Python Windows` failed because of
`T:\altsrc\github\grpc\workspace_python_windows_x86_Python38_32bit\python_build\\temp.win-amd64-cpython-312\\Release\\src\core\ext\upb-gen\envoy\extensions\load_balancing_policies\client_side_weighted_round_robin\v3\client_side_weighted_round_robin.upb_minitable.obj`
* Remove `fetch_build_eggs` since they're deprecated and those deps will
be installed by `setuptools`.
* Fix indentation on `run_test` so we don't miss `native` test cases.

### Background
* `distutils` is deprecated with removal planned for Python 3.12
([pep-0632](https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/)), thus we're trying to
replace all distutils usage with setuptools.
* Please note that user still have access to `distutils` if setuptools
is installed and `SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS` is set to `local` (The
default in setuptools, more details can be found [in this
discussion](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2806#issuecomment-1193336591)).
### How we decide the replacement
* We're following setuptools [Porting from Distutils
guide](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html#porting-from-distutils)
when deciding the replacement.
#### Replacement not mentioned in the guide
* Replaced `distutils.utils.get_platform()` with
`sysconfig.get_platform()`.
* Based on the [answer
here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71664875/what-is-the-replacement-for-distutils-util-get-platform),
and also checked the document that `sysconfig.get_platform()` is good
enough for our use cases.
* Replaced `DistutilsOptionError` with `OptionError`.
* `setuptools.error` is exporting it as `OptionError` [in the
code](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/v59.6.0/setuptools/errors.py).
* Upgrade `setuptools` in `test_packages.sh` and changed the version
ping to `59.6.0` in `build_artifact_python.bat`.
* `distutils.errors.*` is not fully re-exported until `59.0.0` (See
[this issue](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2698) for more
details).
### Changes not included in this PR
* We're patching some compiler related functions provided by distutils
in our code
([example](ee4efc31c1/src/python/grpcio/_spawn_patch.py (L30))),
but since `setuptools` doesn't have similar interface (See [this issue
for more details](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2806)), we
don't have a clear path to replace them yet.

- Switched from yapf to black
- Reconfigure isort for black
- Resolve black/pylint idiosyncrasies
Note: I used `--experimental-string-processing` because black was
producing "implicit string concatenation", similar to what described
here: https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1837. While currently this
feature is experimental, it will be enabled by default:
https://github.com/psf/black/issues/2188. After running black with the
new string processing so that the generated code merges these `"hello" "
world"` strings concatenations, then I removed
`--experimental-string-processing` for stability, and regenerated the
code again.
To the reviewer: don't even try to open "Files Changed" tab 😄 It's
better to review commit-by-commit, and ignore `run black and isort`.

GCC allows this, but notably clang does not. Other systems,
like FreeBSD and some Linux distros ship with clang as default
compiler. While here, switch the approach to filtering out std
flag since the make workaround relies on GNU make syntax and
'make' binary could be bmake and/or gmake could be absent.
The idea to filter the flags was taken from an answer to this
Stack Overflow question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15527611/how-do-i-specify-different-compiler-flags-in-distutils-for-just-one-python-c-ext
* Use templates instead of generating them every time
* Theme changed
* Add grpc_* modules
* APIs grouped
* No documentation for class members without docstring
* Add docstring for status code
