Here is a first PR to build the test C++ extension with setuptools in
test_cppext:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/92639

It implements what I proposed in the issue. It runs the test in a
venv. Python stdlib (ensurepip) includes a setuptools wheel package
and so is able to install it without adding any new external
dependency.

If this approach works, we can use the same for test_peg_generator.
