Issue #14605: Make explicit the entries on sys.path_hooks that used to
be implicit. Added a warning for when sys.path_hooks is found to be empty. Also changed the meaning of None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent trying sys.path_hooks again (an interpretation of previous semantics). Also added a warning for when None was found. The long-term goal is for None in sys.path_importer_cache to represent the same as imp.NullImporter: no finder found for that sys.path entry.

- Issue #13903: Implement PEP 412. Individual dictionary instances can now share
their keys with other dictionaries. Classes take advantage of this to share
their instance dictionary keys for improved memory and performance.
