Subject: [PATCH] teuthology: implement strtobool and use it

The distutils module was deprecated in Python 3.10 and removed in
Python 3.12. This commit replaces the deprecated distutils.utils.strtobool
imports with strtobool in teuthology.util module.

Changes:
- Add strtobool.py to teuthology/util
- Replace distutils.util.strtobool with
teuthology.util.strtobool.strtobool
