Depreciated dependency on python 3.12 (numpy.distutils) causes error on import

[Gerrit-Hoving]

Describe the bug
Attempting to import rasterstats on Python 3.12 results in the following error:
File ~/.conda/envs/comps/lib/python3.12/site-packages/rasterstats/main.py:8
import numpy.distutils.system_info as sysinfo

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy.distutils'

I believe that this is because numpy.distutils has been depreciated and removed as of Python 3.12 (https://numpy.org/doc/2.1/reference/distutils_status_migration.html#distutils-status-migration).

To Reproduce
I was able to reproduce this error on both Windows 11 and Linux (arch) by creating a new anaconda env with the latest python version, installing spyder and rasterstats, and attempting to import rasterstats into my script in spyder

import rasterstats

I came across this error and then noticed that conda install rasterstats wasn't installing the most up-to-date version of python-rasterstats. I cloned from github and installed manually and it seemed to work fine after that. I am not sure how to fix it though

Also came upon this issue, but @rsparks3's solution (installing directly from the cloned github repo) fixed things for me too.
