Installing opengrok-tools.tar.gz fails from 1.12.24

[ghost]

We get the following error when installing 1.12.24.
I feel it is similar to the issue# 4497 but I don't know how to fix/workaround.
Please help.

This part of the output is interesting:

Successfully installed pip-21.3.1
You are using pip version 21.3.1, however version 23.3.1 is available.

The pip upgrade indeed upgraded pip but not to the latest version. What if you try to upgrade it once again ?

This is however not the root cause of the failed install. It actually tells you the reason pretty bluntly:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools>=61.2

I realized that supported Python version has been raised from 3.6 to 3.9 on 1.12.24.
The Python 3.9 has become available on my environment today and I confirmed that my issue was solved.
Please update the setup (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/How-to-setup-OpenGrok) page.

It was high time this was done as currently everything up to 3.7 is end of life: https://devguide.python.org/versions/

I updated the version on the wiki page.
