    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.

    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).
