Missing pacparser.h from python dist

[glensc]

Note: I'm facing metadata version errors for newer versions than 1.3.7:

• Broken metadata: 1.3.9..1.5.1 versions #253

But 1.5.1 also misses header file from the tarball:

From building from source for Python 3.11 Linux arm64, because no prebuilt wheel is not available:
