Remove final use of pkg_resources


'pkg_resources' is slow, while 'importlib.metadata' is the new shiny and
is *much* faster. Recent version of 'importlib.metadata' - namely those
found in Python 3.10 or provided by the 4.4 'importlib-metadata'
backport - now provide the last bit of functionality we were missing to
remove 'pkg_resources' entirely, namely the ability to map package names
to modules. This is used for generating epilogs.

The benefits of this are huge, yielding a near 40% decrease in runtime
for the cliffdemo app (100mS after compared to 160mS) before.
