distutils-r1.eclass: Switch dift default to --via-root
Switch the default distutils_install_for_testing behavior to --via-root
(from legacy --via-home). The old versions of setuptools where
--via-home worked are gone, and testing has so far proven that
--via-root in the worst case leaves package as broken as before.
