  Use of deprecated 'imp' module

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------

  The deprecation warning is just a warning, but it clutters the output
  and can lead to misattributions in case something does not work as
  expected.

  Test Case
  ---------

  1. apt install apport
  2. Execute following command:
  python3 -Wonce -c "import apport.report"
  3. There should be no output.

  Where problems could occur
  --------------------------

  Except for changes to the test cases, _check_interpreted is the only
  consumer for the changed code. Breakage in this code paths can lead to
  wrongly assume that the crashing Python code is an interpreted script
  or not. This can lead to reports that have only ExecutablePath set
  (and not InterpreterPath).

  Original Description
  --------------------

  Code using apport/report.py will see the following warning:

  $ python3 -Wonce -c "import apport.report"
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py:13
    /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py:13: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
      import fnmatch, glob, traceback, errno, sys, atexit, locale, imp, stat

  The 'imp' module is slated for removal in Python 3.12.
