Research direction

Start at tensorflow_probability/python/init.py line 57, where the reported version comparison is made, and reproduce the warning with TensorFlow Probability 0.19.0. Check the surrounding initialization and relevant tests for version handling. Done means the deprecated distutils warning is no longer emitted while the version check still works.
