[Release 1.1] Cherry-pick some mypyc build fixes (#14820)

The mypyc build was recently broken by a new release of
`types-setuptools`. This was fixed on `master` by the following two PRs:
- #14781
- #14787

However, the mypyc build is still broken on the 1.1 branch:
https://github.com/python/mypy/actions/runs/4311688115/jobs/7521345529.

This PR cherry-picks the two PRs that fixed the build to the 1.1 branch.
