[issue15502] Meta path finders and path entry finders are different, but share an ABC

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

As a final attempt at giving the path import machinery the emphasis it
deserves without misusing the "importer" term, how about:
1. "path import subsystem" for that whole section of the import machinery;
and
2. "path import finder" specifically for the meta path finder that
importlib calls "PathFinder" and the new docs currently call "path importer"

"path_importer_cache" would still be a bit of a misnomer, but that ship
sailed a long time ago.
