<title>Update userguide on `miscellaneous` and `extension`</title>

This is a continuation of the update effort to de-emphasize `distutils`
and make the documentation more consistent.

The main targets of the changes are the files
`docs/userguide/miscellaneous` and `docs/userguide/extension`.

Changes:

- Extracted text about automatic resource extraction and the zip-safe flag
  from `userguide/miscellaneous` to `deprecated/resource_extraction` and
  `deprecated/zip_safe`.
  - These configuration parameters are commonly associated with
    ``eggs``/``easy_install``/``pkg_resources``, and therefore are
    obsolete. Leaving them around in the main parts of the documentation
    just confuses users.
  - The text in the new files were updated.
- Extracted text about additional metadata from
  `userguide/miscellaneous` into the existing `userguide/extension`
  document.
- Updated `userguide/extension` to better reflect the status of the
  setuptools project.
  The text was also changed to explain a little bit more what is the
  relationship between ``setuptools`` and ``distutils``.
- Removed `userguide/functionalities_rewrite`.
  This file was virtually empty and not bringing any extra value to the
  docs.

The existing docs seem to assume that the user is familiar with the
history of packaging in the Python ecosystem (or at least know what is
`distutils`).

Since that is not always the case and that `distutils` is in the process
of being adopted by `setuptools`, the documentation should be changed
to minimize mentions to `distutils` and avoid expecting too much
knowledge from the users.

The benefit of this approach is that it can make the docs more
accessible and easier to understand.

Changes:

- Modify landing page to clarify what `setuptools` does (making it more
  clear to understand for beginners).
- Remove mentions to `distutils`, `transition to PEP 517` from
  `userguide/index`.
  - Instead the text is changed to have a more "introductory" tone.
- Remove mentions to `distutils` from the Quickstart.
- Remove `python2` from the intersphinx mapping - it was causing trouble
  redirecting glossary terms to Python2 docs, instead of Python3.
- Modify documentation about development mode to be more aligned with
  current practices (i.e. using `pip install -e .`)
  - In this process all documentation about running `setuptools` commands
    in `distutils` projects was moved to a new file in `docs/deprecated/running_commands.rst`
