demandimport: don't delay _distutils_hack import

test-demandimport.py would fail on 'import distutils.msvc9compiler' because
warnings:
  /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py:18: UserWarning: Distutils was imported before Setuptools, but importing Setuptools also replaces the `distutils` module in `sys.modules`. This may lead to undesirable behaviors or errors. To avoid these issues, avoid using distutils directly, ensure that setuptools is installed in the traditional way (e.g. not an editable install), and/or make sure that setuptools is always imported before distutils.
    warnings.warn(
  /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py:33: UserWarning: Setuptools is replacing distutils.
    warnings.warn("Setuptools is replacing distutils.")

Telling demandimport to ignore this module will allow the hack to work as
intended.

Note:

The test for distutils.msvc9compiler comes from 2205d00b6d2b. But since then,
distutils is going away, and setuptools has moved forward and is replacing it.
It is unclear exactly what is being tested here and how setuptools should
depended on msvc9compiler. The test might no longer be relevant.
