Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  The Client had an unnecessary dependency on python3-pkg-resources. This was bringing in many unwanted dependencies to seeds after Oracular.

  There is a code snippet autogenerated by setuptools which imports
  pkg_resources, and that is actually needed up to Focal. Jammy and
  greater only rely on pkg_resources as a fallback to importlib - which
  does not justify it's inclusion as a depndency.

  This was fixed in Oracular by just removing the dependency in version
  34.1. However, that change would potentially break Xenial, Bionic and
  Focal. So, for version 35, a new patch has been applied, implementing
  a conditional dependency on the package.

  As of v35, the pro client will keep depending on pkg-resources up to
  Noble, but not for any subsequent release.

  [ Test Plan ]
  As the dependency was used directly in /usr/bin/pro, all pro commands must work after the patch exactly the same.
  Thus, it's possible to claim that the acceptance tests that will be considered as validation for #2083973 also cover this bug.
  Adittionally, on Oracular, we can verify that ubuntu-pro-client is installed and the dependency is not there, using `apt show`.

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  As this is a conditional dependency, mistakes in the implementation could lead to:
  - python3-pkg-resources being present as a dependency on Oracular+ : which would bring more dependencies as explained above
  - python3-pkg-resources being absent as a dependency on -Focal: which would break /usr/bin/pro. This is covered by the integration test suite.

  [ Original Description ]
  ubuntu-pro-client has an unnecessary dependency on python3-pkg-resources, at least grepping the source for pkg_resources doesn't show anything. Please remove it.
