Add support for importlib.resources (#78915)

* Add support for importlib.resources

* Remove the importlib.resources imports

* return the correct data

* Some code comments, and re-order for consistency

* Disallow traversing packages below an individual collection

* Add a traversable class for namespaces

* Re-use variable

* Utilize itertools.chain.from_iterable

Co-authored-by: Sviatoslav Sydorenko <wk.cvs.github@sydorenko.org.ua>

* Simplify logic to check for packages from ansible loaders

Co-authored-by: Sviatoslav Sydorenko <wk.cvs.github@sydorenko.org.ua>

* Just a generator expression, instead of a generator

* docstrings

* Add comment about find_spec for our namespaces

* Add some initial unit tests for importlib.resources

* normalize

* Utilize importlib.resources for listing collections

* collections_path is already in config, just use config

* install uses a different default for collections_path

* Remove unused import

* Remove duplicate __truediv__

* Bring back TraversableResources

* Apply some small suggestions from code review
