distutils is deprecated and removed in Python 3.12

[szaszlyki21]

Describe the bug

I'm using an arch distro which uses the newest stable release of python which is 3.12. With 3.12 distutils is now deprecated, so the program errors out for not finding distutils in my isolated Virtual Environment.

as a temporary workaround for those using pipx, install python3.11 and then install lncrawl as follows:
pipx install lightnovel-crawler --python /usr/bin/python3.11
