* Restore the tests command and deprecate access to the module.
* Added return types to typed public functions.
* Removed lingering unused code around Distribution._patched_dist.
* Reset the backports module when enabling vendored packages.
* Include all vendored files in the sdist.
* Restored package data that went missing in 71.0. This change also
incidentally causes tests to be installed once again.
* Now setuptools declares its own dependencies in the core extra.
Dependencies are still vendored for bootstrapping purposes, but
setuptools will prefer installed dependencies if present. The core
extra is used for informational purposes and should *not* be declared
in package metadata (e.g. build-requires).
* Support for loading distutils from the standard library is now
deprecated, including use of SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib and
importing distutils before importing setuptools.
* Fix distribution name normalisation for valid versions that are not
canonical (e.g. 1.0-2).
+ Modernized and refactored VCS handling in package_index.
