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.
