package/gobject-introspection: fix build with latest setuptools

When setuptools was updated to version 75.1.0 in buildroot commit
f01897aa6ceca00831c9b2c14f3ae90faaefce68 it broke gobject
introspection builds which relied on a deprecated MSVCCompiler
distutils module.

Backport an upstream patch removing this module dependency.

+Subject: [PATCH] giscanner: remove dependency on distutils.msvccompiler
+
+It was removed with setuptools 74.0.0. Since we still depend on the
+MSVCCompiler class use new_compiler() to get it some other way.
+
+Remove any reference to MSVC9Compiler, which was for Visual Studio 2008
+which we no longer support anyway.
+
+Fixes #515
