Consider using packaging instead of semantic_version

It will achieve the check that we need, and might be found on more distributions.
This is not urgent, because we have made semantic_version optional.

It was suggested that we make the version-check an "extra". I'm not sure we want to; it is most important for when people are running from source or installing casually; they might not ask for it just when we would most like them to be using it.
