Fixes: #4643
Change-Id: Idcd390c77bf7b0e9957907716993bdaa3f1a1763

Introduced a modules registry to register modules that should be lazily loaded
in the package init. This ensures that they are in the system module cache,
avoiding potential thread safety issues as when importing them directly
in the function that uses them. The module registry is used to obtain
these modules directly, ensuring that the all the lazily loaded modules
are resolved at the proper time

This replaces dependency_for decorator and the dependencies decorator logic,
removing the need to pass the resolved modules as arguments of the
decodated functions and removes possible errors caused by linters.

(zzzeek:) For some reason I thought that threading.Lock() still did
not support context managers, at least in Python 2, however this
does not seem to be the case.

Applied the mapper "configure mutex" against the declarative class mapping
process, to guard against the race which can occur if mappers are used
while dynamic module import schemes are still in the process of configuring
mappers for related classes.  This does not guard against all possible race
conditions, such as if the concurrent import has not yet encountered the
dependent classes as of yet, however it guards against as much as possible
within the SQLAlchemy declarative process.

Added some helper exceptions that invoke when a mapping based on
:class:`.AbstractConcreteBase`, :class:`.DeferredReflection`, or
:class:`.AutoMap` is used before the mapping is ready to be used, which
contain descriptive information on the class, rather than falling through
into other failure modes that are less informative.

Fixes: #4470

Implemented a new feature whereby the :class:`.AliasedClass` construct can
now be used as the target of a :func:`.relationship`.  This allows the
concept of "non primary mappers" to no longer be necessary, as the
:class:`.AliasedClass` is much easier to configure and automatically inherits
all the relationships of the mapped class, as well as preserves the
ability for loader options to work normally.

- introduce new name for mapped_table, "persist_selectable".  this is
the selectable that selects against the local mapper and its superclasses,
but does not include columns local only to subclasses.

- relationship gains "entity" which is the mapper or aliasedinsp.

- clarfiy name "entity" vs. "query_entity" in loader strategies.

Applied on top of a pure run of black -l 79 in
I7eda77fed3d8e73df84b3651fd6cfcfe858d4dc9,  this set of changes
resolves all remaining flake8 conditions for those codes
we have enabled in setup.cfg.

Included are resolutions for all remaining flake8 issues
including shadowed builtins, long lines, import order, unused
imports, duplicate imports, and docstring issues.
