Detailed description

Right now installation fails on python 3.12 because distutils was removed. distutils are currently provided through the setuptools package. Using a pyproject.toml will tell modern python build tools to install setuptools prior to building capstone. I saw there is a separate PR to remove distutils, this is mostly orthogonal to that.

Once merged, I would like this cherry-picked to the v5 branch as well.

Test plan

Test that it builds and installs correctly on python 3.12. I've added an entry to the CI to ensure this.
