devel:tools:building/meson: meson 0.55 depends on python3-setuptools

Meson 0.55 depends on python3-setuptools package, without it build fails. Adding python3-setuptools to BuildRequires for a package is a quick workaround, but I believe it should be added to Requires of meson.
we have patches in our meson package to avoid setuptools. with meson being in the distro bootstrap, something like setuptools is just too expensive
