Fixes to work with latest Python versions

[jjdenhup]

This should fix #37

Cause of this issue is that much of what robotframework-autoitlibrary does to install is deprecated and/or not recommend practices in newer pythons. A complete rewrite would be better, but I managed to get it working with fairly minimal changes:

• Build.bat
  • updated to call python -m build instead, as calling setup.py directly is deprecated
  • NOTE it now outputs a tar.gz instead of a zip, and zip does not seem supported by build
• Make.bat
  • libdoc.py call changed to newer libdoc.exe from robotframework.
  • removed both calls to setup.py, as calling directly is deprecated and it is unnecessary as libdoc does not require it; and build.bat does an install itself as part
• setup.py
  • updated to work on Python 3.12 with setuptools, as distutils is obsolete and has been removed
  • changed logic to hook into cmdclass instead of relying on install param to be passed which does not occur any more
  • removed unneeded makepy.py call, as the lib does it automatically already at run time
  • added robotframework as a dependency
• init.py
  • updated to remove libdoc warning about \R escape sequence

Hi @jjdenhup, could you add this lines back to setup.py? since this lib only support Windows OS. remains code looks fine to me.

if os.name == "nt" :
   ......
else :
  print("AutoItLibrary cannot be installed on non-Windows platforms.")
  sys.exit(2)

Replaced. Sorry about that.
