Replace "oslo_utils.importutils" with standard library "importlib"
The current implementation of dynamic library importation is prone
to failure [1]:
- "sys.modules" is modified manually, which is something not
recommended [2].
- When a module is imported is added to "sys.modules"; that means
there is no need to manually create an entry in this object.
- "importlib" library is part of the standard library and is now
available in PY3 and PY2 (backported). This library contains a
function called "import_module" to import a module in runtime.
