WheelDistribution doesn't implement abstract methods of importlib.metadata.Distribution

[jaraco]

Description

In python/cpython#100466, we learned that pip implements a WheelDistribution derived from importlib.metadata.Distribution, but doesn't implement the abstract methods. This usage was allowed because the ABC didn't derive from abc.ABCMeta. I don't recall if that choice was intentional or not, but attempting to enforce the definition of abstract methods in subclasses breaks pip invocations.

Expected behavior

Pip should implement the abstract methods (even if just trivially).
