build: remove dependency on distutils.spawn

Browse Source 
Debian based packages of Python 3 do not include `distutils.spawn` and
require an additional apt package to be installed (`python3-distutils`).
Replace use of `distutils.spawn` with `shutil.which`, available in all
versions of Python currently allowed by our configure scripts.

For the `configure` script only, fall back to `distutils.spawn` to allow
friendlier error messages when run on older unsupported versions of
Python (e.g. 2.7).

`configure.py` also uses `distutils.version` -- this appears to be
available in Debian packaged Python 3 without installing
`python3-distutils` so has been left as-is.

If you run into a `No module named 'distutils.spawn'` error when executing
`./configure`, please try `python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools` or
`sudo apt install python3-distutils -y`.

The `-j4` option will cause `make` to run 4 simultaneous compilation jobs which
may reduce build time. For more information, see the
