Introduce importlib.abc. The module contains various ABCs related to imports

(mostly stuff specified by PEP 302). There are two ABCs, PyLoader and
PyPycLoader, which help with implementing source and source/bytecode loaders by
implementing load_module in terms of other methods. This removes a lot of
gritty details loaders typically have to worry about.
