Update userguide on `miscellaneous` and `extension`
This is a continuation of the update effort to de-emphasize `distutils` and make the documentation more consistent. The main targets of the changes are the files `docs/userguide/miscellaneous` and `docs/userguide/extension`. Changes: - Extracted text about automatic resource extraction and the zip-safe flag from `userguide/miscellaneous` to `deprecated/resource_extraction` and `deprecated/zip_safe`. - These configuration parameters are commonly associated with ``eggs``/``easy_install``/``pkg_resources``, and therefore are obsolete. Leaving them around in the main parts of the documentation just confuses users. - The text in the new files were updated. - Extracted text about additional metadata from `userguide/miscellaneous` into the existing `userguide/extension` document. - Updated `userguide/extension` to better reflect the status of the setuptools project. The text was also changed to explain a little bit more what is the relationship between ``setuptools`` and ``distutils``. - Removed `userguide/functionalities_rewrite`. This file was virtually empty and not bringing any extra value to the docs.
