Remove runtime usage of pkg_resources.

This should provide a startup time speed boost at the expense of making
it harder to get ansible to use newer versions of packages than are
provided by the platform.

minor_changes:
- Drop the use of pkg_resources. Importing pkg_resources was the costliest
part of startup time for Ansible. pkg_resources was used so that platforms
with old versions of PyCrypto and Jinja2 could use parallel installed,
updated versions. Since we no longer support Python-2.6 on the controller
side, we no longer have to support parallel installation to work around
those old stacks.
