add nntplib 0.1.3

Adding deprecated library. For 3.11 it will shadow the packaged one silencing the warnings, for further versions it will be working as it should.

I think it might need to be updated to use https://pypi.org/project/standard-nntplib?

switch to standard-nntplib

Yeah, definitely. Looks like things changed a bit since I created the port, and currently only one maintained version left on PYPI.

use setuptools

I think it should look a little different, uploading a patch but we need the newer setuptools in #270358

No objections, less code means less bugs.
