Subject: [PATCH] Add setuptools to install_requires for pkg_resources
 compatibility

Modern Python (3.12+) no longer bundles setuptools, and setuptools>=82
removed pkg_resources entirely. The pytz dependency (pinned at 2018.4 via
singer-python) uses pkg_resources as a fallback for timezone data loading,
causing 'pkg_resources not found' errors in modern environments.

Adding setuptools as an explicit dependency ensures pkg_resources remains
available.
