python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal

Any missed ports, feel free to bump.

Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.

audio/py-pyttsx3: Add port

Offline Text To Speech (TTS) converter for Python. Unlike alternative libraries,
it works offline.

Requires some post-release commits from Github due to dependency on
audio/espeak-ng[1]. If release version 2.90 is installed via e.g. PIP instead,
it will not find audio/espeak's libespeak-ng.so.1 library.

The port is needed as one of the dependencies of the QGIS plugin 'QChatGPT'.
