summary:
Issue #13959: Document imp.find_module/load_module as deprecated.
The code itself does not raise a DeprecationWarning as the functions
are technically fine, it's just a bad API. Unfortunately experience
has shown that the terrible API has been exposed in various places,
necessitating that it stick around probably until py4k comes around
since it is such a shift to move over to importlib.find_loader().
