importlib resource API isn't deprecated

Bug description

Pylint complains about some functions like importlib.resources.read_text being deprecated. As I understand it what happened was there was a PR to deprecate them for Python 3.13, then it was reverted so they were un-deprecated, but they forgot to remove the deprecation message from the release notes.

See this comment and the links in it.

Pylint output

It prints a deprecation warning for those functions. I don't have the output to hand but you know what I mean.

Expected behavior

No deprecation message.

Pylint version

3.3.1

Looks like we need to update these here and move / remove some entries.

Hi 👋, I'd like to work on this issue. I will update the stdlib checker to stop flagging
importlib.resources.read_text as deprecated and add tests. Please assign it to me if that's okay.
Thank you!
