refactor: Removed deprecation by switching to importlib.metadata

[tabedzki]

While the larger overhaul of the plugin architecture is being considered (#1251, this is a small fix to move away from pkg_resources and use importlib.metadata.

Nothing else has changed as this is solely to remove the deprecation warning when importing datajoint.

Edit: I tested it for Python 3.9 to 3.12 by doing

for version in 3.9 3.10 3.11 3.12; do
  uv run --python $version python -c 'import datajoint as dj; print(dj.__file__); print("Datajoint import successful")'; done

@tabedzki I am closing this. We are preparing DataJoint 2.0 for release in two weeks, which upgrades the plugin infrastructure.

@dimitri-yatsenko Can this be introduced into the 0.14.x EOL branch? When running pytest with datajoint, the deprecation warning keeps popping up and I believe that this is more sustainable than pinning setuptools.
