Add an upper bound pin for setuptools#85
Merged

This is necessary because scraper depends on vsts, which itself imports the pkg_resources package from setuptools in its __init__.py. The pkg_resources package will be removed in setuptools 81, which will fundamentally break vsts. I would make the change in vsts instead, but that project has changed its name and has undergone several major revisions since: - https://pypi.org/project/vsts/ (see in particular the homepage link) - https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api
