[New-bugs-announce] [issue45085] Remove the binhex module, binhex4 and hexbin4 standards

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

The binhex module was deprecated in Python 3.9 by bpo-39353 (commit beea26b57e8c80f1eff0f967a0f9d083a7dc3d66). I propose to remove it: see attached PR.

The PR also removes the following binascii functions, also deprecated in Python 3.9:

* a2b_hqx(), b2a_hqx()
* rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx()

The binascii.crc_hqx() function remains available.
