Windows and the major POSIX platforms (including Linux and macOS) now support loading C extension with a version-tagged name (and build them likewise), such as "foobar.cpython-36.so".

Following the discussion in https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-December/151328.html, I propose to remove the ability to load untagged C extension names on those platforms.  IOW, "foobar.dll" or "foobar.so" will not be recognized when "import foobar" is executed anymore.
