MAINT: replace distutils LooseVersion

[fernando-duarte]

Title:
Fix distutils deprecation warning in Python 3.13 by switching to packaging.version

---

Background

In Python 3.13 the distutils.version classes are deprecated. As a result, importing pandas-datareader emits:

DeprecationWarning: distutils Version classes are deprecated. Use packaging.version instead.
PANDAS_0230 = PANDAS_VERSION >= LooseVersion("0.23.0")

The warning originates in
pandas_datareader/compat/__init__.py
which currently does:

from distutils.version import LooseVersion

PANDAS_0230 = PANDAS_VERSION >= LooseVersion("0.23.0")

---

Changes

• Remove the distutils.version import
• Add from packaging.version import Version
• Compare pandas version using Version(...) instead of LooseVersion(...)
