bpo-32154: Remove asyncio.selectors (#4605)
* Remove asyncio.selectors and asyncio._overlapped symbols from the namespace of the asyncio module * Replace "from asyncio import selectors" with "import selectors" * Replace "from asyncio import _overlapped" with "import _overlapped" asyncio.selectors was added to support Python 3.3, which doesn't have selectors in its standard library, and Python 3.4 in the same code base. Same rationale for asyncio._overlapped. Python 3.3 reached its end of life, and asyncio is no more maintained as a third party module on PyPI.

+* :mod:`asyncio`: The module doesn't export :mod:`selectors` and
+ :mod:`_overlapped` modules as ``asyncio.selectors`` and
+ ``asyncio._overlapped``. Replace ``from asyncio import selectors`` with
+ ``import selectors`` for example.

* :meth:`pkgutil.walk_packages` now raises ValueError if *path* is a string.
Previously an empty list was returned. (Contributed by Sanyam Khurana in
:issue:`24744`.)
