Outdated build instructions in README

I followed the instructions in the "BUILDING" section in README:

git clone [email protected]:aio-libs/aiosmtpd.git
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install

This produces:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/aiosmtpd/setup.py", line 1, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Is there perhaps an instruction missing there?

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and system's default python, python 3.12.3.
