Follwing fixes in Ansible 7-9 for CVE-2023-5764 cating `AnsibleUnsafeBytes` &
`AnsibleUnsafeText` to `bytes()` or `str()` requires special handling. The
handling is Ansible specific, so it shouldn't go in the mitogen package but
rather the ansible_mitogen package.
`ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.cast()` is most like `mitogen.utils.cast()`.
During development it began as `ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.unwrap_var()`,
closer to an inverse of `ansible.utils.unsafe_procy.wrap_var()`. Future
enhancements may move in this direction.

If casting a string fails then raise a TypeError. This is potentially an API
breaking change; chosen as the lesser evil vs. allowing silent errors.
`cast()` relies on `bytes(obj)` & `str(obj)` returning the respective
supertype. That's no longer the case for `AnsibleUnsafeBytes` &
`AnsibleUnsafeText`; since fixes/mitigations for CVE-2023-5764.

Most of the necessary changes were made in recent PEP 451 commits. This bumps
the CI jobs, and declares the support. Test dependendancies are bumped to
latest supportted/available versions.
refs #1033
importlib.machinery.ModuleSpec and find_spec() were introduced in Python 3.4
under PEP 451. They replace the find_module() API of PEP 302, which was
deprecated from Python 3.4. They were removed in Python 3.12 along with the
imp module.
This change adds support for the PEP 451 APIs. Mitogen should no longer import
imp on Python versions that support ModuleSpec. Tests have been added to cover
the new APIs.
CI jobs have been added to cover Python 3.x on macOS.

This prevents unreleased versions appearing on the website (e.g. 0.3.5.dev0),
but introduces the risk of forgetting to update the website after a release.
A better fix requires deeper design/workflow thought.
refs #1028
faulthandler is a stdlib module in Python 3.3+. For a long time a PyPI package
of the same name was available for earlier Python releases. That package has
since been removed from PyPI, and the source respoitory archived. So we should
not rely on it.

I'm not 100% confident that merely removing this is the full fix,
without substituting something else. I am sure keeping it would be
the greater of two evils. __del__() should be avoided on general
principal, and it's associated with multiple intermittant CI
failures, plus multiple user reported issues.
This reapplies an earlier change, when this plugin was first introduced to
Mitogen. The plugin was updated to fix
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: The '_remote_checksum()' method is deprecated.
I've elected to short-circuit the if statemtn logic, rather than
deleting/unindenting, to make the code delta much smaller. This should make it
easier to maintain/update.

When the requested module (e.g. ansible.module_utils.distro)
- is provided by another module *e.g. distro)
- that itself was a package (e.g. distro 1.7.0)
At runtime
- ansible/module_utils/distro/__init__.py executes
- if https://pypi.org/project/distro/ is present, it's loaded as
ansible.module_utils.distro
- otherwise ansible/module_utils/distro/_distro.py is loaded
ParentEnumerationMethod would wrongly use whatever was in
sys.modules['ansible.module_utils.distro]. Instead we should ascend to
the first parent that has fullname == sys.modules[fullname].__name__.
Then descend to the appropriate .py file on disk.
This bug didn't show up before because until distro 1.7.0 (Feb 2022) the
top-level distro module was a module (distro.py) not a package
(distro/__init__.py)
