(torchx/entrypoints) Use importlib.metadata instead of the backported importlib_metadata (#1087)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #1087

torchx dropped support for python<=3.7 2 years ago (see: #728). But we kept using the backported `importlib_metadata` module to load configurations from `entry_points`.
