As per PEP 11, MacOS 9 support is removed in Python 2.4. There are some leftovers in CPython code base, among which the macurl2path module is an example. I propose to remove it for cleaner codes.

In f6785bce54b5 (issue7908), reference to macurl2path was removed from Lib/urllib.py, and macurl2path.py says:

Do not import directly; use urllib instead.

So, unlike the concern in issue9850, I bet there are no third party codes importing this module. It can be removed from CPython safely.

Added some Mac experts.

Thanks for the suggestion; I didn't even know that was still around.  Because it is a bit late in the game for 3.6 and to be extra cautious, I decided to remove it starting with 3.7.

Thanks for landing all the changes :) It's definitely surprising to see those old CPython codes.
