Description

pkg_resources is deprecated, and not long for this world. To modernize
our code, we now use importlib (specifically, the importlib_metadata
and importlib_resources compatibility modules) and packaging.

These aren't one-to-one replacements for pkg_resources, but porting
was pretty minimal. For the purposes of RBTools, the new APIs give us
everything we need to look up entrypoints, fetch resource files, and
compare versions.

Testing Done

Tested running built-in RBTools commands, aliases, entrypoint-based
third-party commands, and commands in the search path starting with
rbt-.

Tested generating command line completion scripts.

Tested version parsing for all our flavors of version identifiers
provided throughout Review Board history (old-school 1.0alpha1
through modern 6.0b2).
