Removed the unnecessary setuptools package dependency for Python package.

The setuptools package was added to allow definition of namespaces using
the now outdated (and discouraged from use) pkg_resources-style.

The code here, for a long while now, uses a try/except (`ImportError`)
protection around the setuptools code, and falls back to the more
encoraged pkgutil-style.

Removing this library won't affect any current workflow, and in the case
of setuptools not found, it'll actually use a more modern (and
encouraged) flow.
