[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Python generators: Add setuptools dependency for console_script entry points (#664)

[Miro Hrončok]

Almost no upstream specifies setuptools in install_requires. I guess that it is pretty straight forward upstream that if you pip install stuff, you already got setuptools installed.

However, [the console_scripts entry points](https://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command-line-scripts.html#the-console-scripts-entry-point) are de-facto standard now and they import from pkg_resources (part of setuptools).

Packages with console_scripts entry points need setuptools on runtime.

It is possible to see console_scripts entry points metadata and hence it is possible to require setuptools for packages with entry_points.
