sdss_access does not work in Python 3.12

[albireox]

sdss_access does not work in Python 3.12 because it uses distutils which has been deprecated and removed from standard library in 3.12. Here's an example when running datamodel generate in 3.12, which imports sdss_access

datamodel generate --help
[ERROR]: Traceback (most recent call last):

    import distutils.spawn
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

In this particular case it seems that distutils.spawn.find_executable can be replaced with shutil.which.
