There are a couple concrete implementations of load_module() in importlib that have not been explicitly deprecated that probably should be. As part of this I will finally add an Examples section to the importlib docs to show how to do common tasks such as load a source file.

Issue #25802: Deprecate load_module() on importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader and SourcelessFileLoader.

I'm leaving this issue open until I add an Examples section to the importlib docs. I will use the imp module as a guide of what to document.

Here is my attempt at adding an Examples section to the importlib docs. I cover importlib.util.find_spec(), importlib.import_module(), how to import a module by file path, and give an approximate import implementation for illustrative purposes.

issue25802.diff looks good to me (just added a minor comment on Rietveld)

Thanks for the review, Berker! I managed to figure out how to get the Examples links to work so that made it into the final version.
