[python-requirements] Pin setuptools version to < 66.0.0

[vogelpi]

Starting with setuptools version 66.0.0, legacy package version names such as 0.23ubuntu1 are no longer supported. Since some of our Python dependencies use this format, we pin the setuptools version to the last version before this change. This unblocks CI and gives us time to upgrade/rebase our dependencies.

CI currently fails with

This PR should unblock CI for the moment and give us time to update/rebase our Python dependencies. For further information, see pypa/setuptools#3772 (comment)

I've created #17099 to track the updating of our Python dependencies.

Thanks @vogelpi! I hit the same thing when I was trying something yesterday and used this workaround. I'm glad that I checked before creating a PR :)
