The releases on Github produces a setuptools version that isn't PEP518
compliant because a .post number is attached to the .egg file
(IE: 40.0.0.post20180820) which can cause a python package using setuptools
to fail if looking for a setuptools version.
Instead, using the official release from pypi is recommended as it does not
produce a .post version on the egg file.
Another benefit is not having to run bootstrap.py either.
See https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1462 for more details about
the issue

Recent setuptools versions require bootstrap.py to be invoked
before the standard setup process. So create such pre configure
hooks for both host and target versions.
Change download location to GitHub because setuptools doesn't
provide *.tar.gz any longer.
Fix legal info. setuptools is now licensed under MIT licence.
