Unable to access `get_info` without `DeprecationWarning`

Describe the issue:

get_info is needed to locate various libraries and headers for building extension modules. It is located in from numpy.distutils.misc_util, and importing it seems to lead to a DeprecationWarning

Reproduce the code example:

from numpy.distutils.misc_util import get_info

Error message:

`numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
    of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
    Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
    It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.
    For more details, see:
      https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/distutils_status_migration.html

### NumPy/Python version information:

From CI so not easy to run command directly

Python 3.10.4 x64 (Linux) 1.23.0.dev0+1087.g0eaa40db3

@rgommers Thanks, that work around should help. I suspect that get_info is widely used by libraries that link to NumPy, so it would be good to have a replacement or a clearly documented path forward somewhere.

We’re still a month or so away, aren’t we?

I like to branch about 6 weeks before the release deadlines (end of June, end of December), so sometime in the middle of November.
