Setuptools 82 removed the pkg_resources module. The replacement is mostly importlib, with some other modules. This fixes the use of the removed module.

Independent verification: with this PR checked out, python -m build (sdist → wheel) succeeds in a clean python:3.12 container with current setuptools. Without it, the published python-xlib 0.33 sdist fails: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' (removed in setuptools 82, 2026-02). Reproduce: docker run --rm python:3.12 pip install --no-binary :all: python-xlib. Found while build-checking the top-5000 PyPI packages — +1 for merge and release.
