dist: Workaround to disable autodiscovery in setuptools>=61.0.0

See #1394 - creates a new finalize_distribution_options entry point that makes sure that either `py_modules` or `packages` is present, otherwise setuptools  will activate its new auto-discovery system, even for custom commands that don't need setuptools' discovery system.

However, this is not a great solution, because it applies when running all setuptools commands, not just build_apps.
