c673f3d0fe87f6e23a259c620fba7fc9e9d3621f mkvenv: replace distlib.database with importlib.metadata/pkg_resources
importlib.metadata is just as good as distlib.database and a bit more
battle-proven for "egg" based distributions, and in fact that is exactly
why mkvenv.py is not using distlib.database to find entry points: it
simply does not work for eggs.
The only disadvantage of importlib.metadata is that it is not available
by default before Python 3.8, so we need a fallback to pkg_resources
(again, just like for the case of finding entry points). Do so to
fix issues where incorrect egg metadata results in a JSONDecodeError.
While at it, reuse the new _get_version function to diagnose an incorrect
version of the package even if importlib.metadata is not available.
