[Distutils] Documentation link on PyPI.org

[Brett Cannon]

If you search the archive of this mailing list you will notice I asked this
exact question about a month or 2 ago (I think). The answer I got was it is
used on PyPI.org, but I don't know how to set it with setuptools (flit will
probably add support after PEP 517).
