1. build: remove dependency on distutils.spawn …

   Debian based packages of Python 3 do not include `distutils.spawn` and
   require an additional apt package to be installed (`python3-distutils`).
   Replace use of `distutils.spawn` with `shutil.which`, available in all
   versions of Python currently allowed by our configure scripts.
   
   For the `configure` script only, fall back to `distutils.spawn` to allow
   friendlier error messages when run on older unsupported versions of
   Python (e.g. 2.7).
   
   `configure.py` also uses `distutils.version` -- this appears to be
   available in Debian packaged Python 3 without installing
   `python3-distutils` so has been left as-is.
