imp module is deprecated in python3

[sroychow]

While using edmConfigDump the following warning is seen.

Warning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
  import imp

A fix that I tried is this :-

import importlib.machinery
loader = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader("pycfg", options.filename)
cfo = loader.load_module()

Other script which has this is edmConfigSplit. There are ~10 other configs where this module is used.

I see edmConfigDump and edmConfigSplit were addressed in #42650.

I also see the following files still having import imp

cmssw/Alignment/HIPAlignmentAlgorithm/scripts/batchHippy.py

Given that none of the files above are in core managed packages, I think we can close the issue (and maybe open a new one for those files)
