Draft: *: Replace distutils.LooseVersion with packaging

distutils has deprecated its version classes: https://github.com/pypa/distutils/pull/75

In addition, there are errors when comparing versions in bookworm.

It can be replaced with packaging.version and packaging.specifiers: https://github.com/pypa/packaging/blob/main/docs/specifiers.rst

Tests:

• Run functional tests for affected apps.

• Downgrade firewalld to older versions, and trigger force upgrade. Confirm that it is successful.

I only tested firewalld directly, but I believe the other apps should work the same.
