bpo-24960: use pkgutil.get_data in lib2to3 to read pickled grammar files (#4977)
This is more complicated than it should be because we need to preserve the useful mtime-based regeneration feature that lib2to3.pgen2.driver.load_grammar has. We only look for the pickled grammar file with pkgutil.get_data and only if the source file does not exist.

+2to3 and lib2to3 can now read pickled grammar files using pkgutil.get_data()
+rather than probing the filesystem. This lets 2to3 and lib2to3 work when run
+from a zipfile.
