Summary

Update the distutils reference link in docs/userguide/extension.rst to point to the setuptools-hosted distutils documentation at https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils/index.html instead of the old CPython docs URL (docs.python.org/3.9/library/distutils.html) which no longer exists for Python 3.12+.

Part of #4081

The distutils reference in docs/userguide/extension.rst pointed to the
CPython docs (docs.python.org/3.9/library/distutils.html), which no
longer exists for Python 3.12+. Update the link to point to the
setuptools-hosted distutils documentation instead.

Part of pypa#4081
