importlib-metadata 5.0 has removed support for dict-style interaction
with entrypoints [1]. This is going to eventually affect us when Python
3.12 is released but even before then anyone not properly using upper
constraints with an older Python 3.7-based release (the only Python
version where we require the third-party importlib-metadata package
rather than the stdlib importlib.metadata package) will be bitten. Fix
it now to address both.

stevedore -- Manage dynamic plugins for Python applications
Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions
("plugins") at runtime. Many applications implement their own
library for doing this, using __import__
or
importlib
. stevedore avoids creating yet another extension
mechanism by building on top of setuptools
entry points. The code for managing entry points tends to be
repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager classes for
implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded
extensions.
