migrate importlib to resolve warning about pkg_resources

[raspofabs]

I came across this warning when running pytest. I wondered if this fix would be appropriate.
At least on my machine the warning goes away and satisfies the deprecation warning from https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

I think I'm only using this feature for Fonts, so don't know how to check if I have broken anything with this change.

Hi. First of all, thanks for contributing! 🎉

We just need to handle the python 3.8 separately in an if condition, using importlib.resources.open_binary and importlib.resources.is_resource for that case.

Also, we could potentially be looking into dropping python 3.8 support soon now that it's approaching EOL. That should make the implementation of this PR simpler

[ankith26]

Yes, this is the approach I'm suggesting.

Except the CI seems to be failing, IG we have to do _package_or_requirement = _package_or_requirement.split(".")[0] in all the functions because we need it to be relative to the main pygame package and not pygame.pkgdata submodule.

Almost there... Just gotta add # pylint: disable=deprecated-method; comment in front of the deprecated functions to make pylint happy

LGTM, would be good to clear this warning up somewhat from the output (even if we are not really using this file much anymore). I'm familiar with the replacement package and use it for the same purposes in pygame GUI.

LGTM, thanks for contributing! 🥳
