Merges feature/importlib-metadata-entrypoints-select -> master

In python/importlib_metadata#278, the importlib_metadata project implemented a new, simpler API for selecting and iterating on EntryPoints. This proposal adopts that change in flake8, illustrating the preferred usage and limiting the potential for deprecation warnings in the future.

These changes have been adopted in keyring and twine.

The proposal includes two commits. The latter removing the 'compat' shim is optional. Omit that commit if you wish to keep the compatibility shim for a future in which Python 3.10+ includes this behavior (actual version not yet determined).

Oh look. I didn't realize this project ran on Python 2. I'll withdraw the proposal for now.

Commented on src/flake8/_compat.py line 9

reintroducing the backport is a non-starter
