mltable / Azureml Dataprep seems to be still dependent on pkg_resources and thus is broken with python 3.12

- **Package Name**: mltable / azureml dataprep
- **Package Version**: 1.6.1
- **Operating System**: Linux
- **Python Version**: 3.12.8

**Describe the bug**

Hi,
I was glad to see that azureml now should be supporting 3.12, but it seems like not all my azureml dependencies truely support 3.12 yet.

What it seems like is that azureml dataprep still is dependent on pkg_resources, and azureml dataprep is a dependency for mltable:

```
ImportError while importing test module '/home/vsts/work/1/s/tests/ourtest.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.12.8/x64/lib/python3.12/importlib/__init__.py:90: in import_module

import pkg_resources
E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

```

pip freeze slimmed down to relevant packages:

```
azure-ai-ml==1.23.0
azure-common==1.1.28
azure-core==1.32.0
azure-cosmos==4.9.0
azure-identity==1.19.0

opencensus==0.11.4
opencensus-context==0.1.3
opencensus-ext-azure==1.1.13

```

Hope we can sort this out!

**To Reproduce**
As above using or importing mltable results into this dependency still relying on pkg_resources, which is deprecated in python 3.12.

**Expected behavior**
I expected for python 3.12 to be compatible as stated in azure ml package documentation.
