On python 3.13+ we don't support the fallback to the pkg_resources metadata backend, and don't attempt to detect .egg installed distributions (#12330).

In effect, this means pkg_resources is never used at all by pip on python 3.13 (to the best of my knowledge).

This does not mean we will not want to drop support for the pkg_resources backend before we drop support for python 3.12, but at least this places a limit on it.

@pypa/pip-committers what do you think?
