* bpo-43428: Sync with importlib_metadata 3.7.3 (16ac3a95)
* Add 'versionadded' for importlib.metadata.packages_distributions
* Add section in what's new for Python 3.10 highlighting most salient changes and relevant backport.
Added an invalidate_caches() method to the zipimport.zipimporter class based on the implementation of importlib.FileFinder.invalidate_caches(). This was done by adding a get_files() method and an _archive_mtime attribute to zipimport.zipimporter to check for updates or cache invalidation whenever the cache of files and toc entry information in the zipimporter is accessed.
In the [official tutorial on virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments)
> This will create the tutorial-env directory if it doesn’t exist, and also create directories inside it containing a copy of the Python interpreter, **the standard library**, and various supporting files.
According to the actual behavior of `venv` and [PEP 405](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0405/#id15)'s description about virtual environment, no standard library file is included in the virtual environment's directory.

The note about the GIL was buried pretty deep in the threading documentation,
and this made it hard for first time users to discover why their attempts
at using threading to parallelizing their application did not work.
In this commit, the note is moved to the top of the module documention for
visibility.
Printing to IDLE's Shell is often slower than printing to a system
terminal, but it can be made faster by pre-formatting a single
string before printing.
Unittest discovery support namespace package as start
directory. But it doesn't find namespace package in
the start directory automatically.
Otherwise, unittest discovery search into unexpected
directories like `vendor/` or `node_modules/`.
