[New-bugs-announce] [issue26131] Raise ImportWarning when loader.load_module() is used

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

Since loader.load_module() is documented as deprecated, we should consider raising an ImportWarning when it is used. That way when Python 2.7 support ends we can either remove it or have one more release where the various ImportWarnings turn into DeprecationWarnings and we finally clean up the import semantics to only be spec-based.
