Remove deprecated keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters, in favor of context

[vstinner]

In Python 3.6, the keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters were deprecated in ftplib, http.client, imaplib, poplib, and smtplib modules. IMO it's now time to remove them in favor of the context parameters. Most Python projects now require Python 3.6 and newer (if not Python 3.7 or Python 3.8). And it's easy to support older Python versions with some if/else code.

I wrote PR #94173 to remove these parameters.

• PR: gh-94172: Remove keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters #94173

• PR: gh-94172: Update docs for params removed in 3.12 #100431

• PR: gh-94172: Update keyfile removal documentation #105392

• PR: [3.12] gh-94172: Update keyfile removal documentation (GH-105392) #105402

See the old issue #72209 which introduced the deprecation for the rationale of removing these parameters.

I made two changes to prepare the main one:

• commit f0b234e
• commit 37118fa
