Use setuptools instead of distutils when possible

In setup.py we use distutils to install psutil:

from distutils.core import setup

setup(...)


Users having setuptools installed might want to take advange of it.
The first example usage which comes to mind is:

$ python setup.py develop

...which lets the user edit the source checkout and do development without 
having to actually install the package: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2005-July/004692.html The 
following change would let users take advange of setuptools remaining backward 
compatible if setuptools is not installed:

try:
    from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
    from distutils.core import setup

setup(...)
