cucumber-tag-expressions install failing on newer versions of setuptools

[krisgesling]

Describe the bug
I'm starting to see pip install failures in Github Actions due to the use of use_2to3 in cucumber-tag-expressions. Setuptools deprecated use of use_2to3 from v58 (see changelog).

So an alternative approach will be needed, or dropping support for Python 2. Figured this is a call for the maintainers hence an issue rather than a PR.

Thanks for a great package though :)

To Reproduce

pip install setuptools>=58.0.0
pip install cucumber-tag-expressions

See error:

Expected behavior
Should successfully install using newer versions of setuptools.

Context & Motivation
Discovered this as our Github Actions started failing - hence we need to actively downgrade setuptools in 3rd party CI systems or fork the cucumber package and remove use_2to3.
