DTE install fails on missing dependency

[jasonpettit]

Describe the bug
When installing DTE on Windows run.py fails due to pkg_resources not being included in fs 2.4.16 which results in run.py failing.

Upon running run.py:
PS C:\Users\jpettit\DTE\DTE> python3 run.py
C:\Users\jpettit\DTE\DTE\non_hlos_parser.py:22: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d'
name_regex="([a-z,A-Z]+_(dtb|DTB|dtbs|config)).(((b|B)\d+)|mdt|MDT|bin|mbn|elf){1}"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\jpettit\DTE\DTE\run.py", line 21, in

File "C:\Users\jpettit\DTE\DTE\controller.py", line 69, in

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Debugged issue with Claude
The issue: fs==2.4.16 requires pkg_resources (from setuptools), but despite setuptools being installed,
pkg_resources isn't importable. This is a known Python 3.12 issue with broken setuptools installs. The fix is to
force-reinstall setuptools

setuptools 71+ no longer bundles pkg_resources as a standalone top-level module, but fs==2.4.16
still depends on it. The fix is to downgrade setuptools to a version that includes pkg_resources

Root cause: fs==2.4.16 calls pkg_resources.declare_namespace() in its init.py. pkg_resources was historically
bundled with setuptools, but setuptools 71+ no longer ships it as a standalone top-level module.

Workaround: Downgraded setuptools to 70.3.0, which still includes pkg_resources in site-packages.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. git clone https://github.com/qualcomm/DTE.git

3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python3 run.py
