The binhex module, deprecated in Python 3.9, is now removed. The
following binascii functions, deprecated in Python 3.9, are now also
removed:

  • a2b_hqx(), b2a_hqx();
  • rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx().

The binascii.crc_hqx() function remains available.

Interesting part of this PR: it removes "binhex" from sys.stdlib_module_names ;-)

Without this change:

$ ./python -c 'import sys; print(len(sys.stdlib_module_names))'
304

With this change:

$ ./python -c 'import sys; print(len(sys.stdlib_module_names))'
303

One less stdlib module!
