There's a test run in test_python.yml that is non-trivial to get working with
Python 3.12 due to some refactoring of our Docker images that would be needed.
But this change updates everything else to add coverage for Python 3.12.
The main changes necessary to get the builds working were to upgrade some Pip
packages via requirements.txt, including in a patch to `rules_fuzzing` that I
plan to upstream soon. I also had to take an explicit dependency on
`setuptools`.
I removed tox.ini, since it was outdated and we have not been actively
maintaining it.

Python 3.12 has removed the `distutils` module, so we need to stop relying on
it. Most of the parts we were using had a straightforward replacement in
`setuptools` or elsewhere in the Python standard library. I couldn't find a
good replacement for `distutils.command.clean`, though. We were only using it
to enable `python setup.py clean`, so I just removed that functionality since
directly invoking setup.py is deprecated anyway.
While I was looking at this I realized that our python/release.sh script is
unused, so I also removed that.

standarized. A common standard is SPDX, therefore "3-Clause BSD License"
is substituted with "BSD-3-Clause" which is a SPDX identifier.

This change updates the README.md to describe the order of resolution
between `options['generate_py_protobufs']`, `--protoc`, and the `PROTOC`
env var.
Since the `setup.py` script is not the main way to find docs, this change
deletes the parts of the docstring that are redundant with `README.md`.
Currently, the logic in `generate_py_protobufs` cannot find a custom `protoc` (even though it's supposed to be possible). Fixes:
1. Mark the `--protoc` flag as accepting an argument.
2. If the `--protoc` flag was not passed, try finding `PROTOC` in the environment.
3. (Existing behavior) Otherwise, fall back to `spawn.find_executable`.
Hat tip to @bobhancock for uncovering the problem(s).
This updates README.md to use an example with pip instead of setup.py.
The README.md is then used as the long_description argument to setup(),
so that the doc shows up on pypi.
This extension allows Python code to be generated from setup.py files, so they
are created as part of a normal Python build. The extension uses an already-existing
protoc binary, which can be explicitly specified if needed.
