base_vat_optional_vies: vatnumber installation

[SirTakobi]

Module

base_vat_optional_vies

Describe the bug

The module installation raises

error in vatnumber setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.

To Reproduce

Affected versions:

• 14.0: yes

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the module from PyPI:

   pip install odoo14-addon-base_vat_optional_vies

Expected behavior
Module is installed.

Additional context
The issue is due to pypa/setuptools#2086.
I tried some possible solutions in #1698 with no success, the main problem is that https://pypi.org/project/vatnumber/ is no more maintained so it can't be fixed.

This prevents runboat creation, see its log (from https://runboat.odoo-community.org/api/v1/builds/b3ad64fb3-cb05-4151-b06f-e17a3f9b3fd2/init-log):

This may lead to undesirable behaviors or errors. To avoid these issues, avoid using distutils directly, ensure that setuptools is installed in the traditional way (e.g. not an editable install), and/or make sure that setuptools is always imported before distutils.

I solved using Python version 3.8.16 for v. 14.0 (having a big time to understand Odoo doesn't really support Python version shown in requirements.txt).

Fixed from #1700
