Issue #13959: Have

importlib.abc.FileLoader.load_module()/get_filename() and
importlib.machinery.ExtensionFileLoader.load_module() have their
single argument be optional as the loader's constructor has all the
ncessary information.

This allows for the deprecation of
imp.load_source()/load_compile()/load_package().
