[issue33944] Deprecate and remove pth files

> 3.  I realize that PEPs are needed for any change and even to define what that change might look like, but is there any value in adding PendingDeprecationWarnings for 3.8 if that's a possible action that will happen?  As I understand it, it would be easier to remove that warning later instead of delaying any actions from it.

We cannot modify Python before a PEP is approved. It's too early to see that a PEP removing support for .pth file will be approved or not. There are too many constraints and use cases.
