distutils-r1.eclass: Remove distutils_install_for_testing

Remove `distutils_install_for_testing` function.  It is quite complex,
and it was used only in the legacy eclass mode.  All ebuilds using it
in ::gentoo have been migrated to PEP517 build already, and the PEP517
build implement the same functionality better.

 # @FUNCTION: distutils_install_for_testing
-# @USAGE: [--via-root|--via-home|--via-venv] [<args>...]
+# @DEPRECATED: DISTUTILS_USE_PEP517=...
 # @DESCRIPTION:
-# Install the package into a temporary location for running tests.
-# Update PYTHONPATH appropriately and set TEST_DIR to the test
-# installation root. The Python packages will be installed in 'lib'
-# subdir, and scripts in 'scripts' subdir (like in BUILD_DIR).
-#
-# Please note that this function should be only used if package uses
-# namespaces (and therefore proper install needs to be done to enforce
-# PYTHONPATH) or tests rely on the results of install command.
-# For most of the packages, tests built in BUILD_DIR are good enough.
-#
-# The function supports three install modes.  These are:
-#
-# --via-root (the default) that uses 'setup.py install --root=...'
-# combined with PYTHONPATH and is recommended for the majority
-# of packages.
-#
-# --via-venv that creates a (non-isolated) venv and installs the package
-# into it via 'setup.py install'.  This mode does not use PYTHONPATH
-# but requires python to be called via PATH.  It may solve a few corner
-# cases that --via-root do not support.
-#
-# --via-home that uses 'setup.py install --home=...'.  This is
-# a historical mode that was mostly broken by setuptools 50.3.0+.
-# If your package does not work with the other two modes but works with
-# this one, please report a bug.
-#
-# Please note that in order to test the solution properly you need
-# to unmerge the package first.
-#
-# This function is not available in PEP517 mode.  The eclass provides
-# a venv-style install unconditionally and therefore it should no longer
-# be necessary.
+# This function used to provide an installed package for running tests.
+# It is no longer implemented, PEP517 mode must be used instead.
