Issue #13959: Deprecate imp.get_suffixes() for new attributes on
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import. The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize everything importlib needs for setting up imports in importlib.machinery. This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer makes sense.
