bpo-45173: Keep configparser deprecations until Python 3.12

[hugovk]

First commit:

Revert #28292 / 1fc41ae to give projects another year to update before removal of configparser deprecations.

Second commit:

Update the deprecation warnings to explicitly call out that they will be removed in Python 3.12, and mention in What's New and a NEWS file.

Should this (the second commit specifically) also go into 3.9 and 3.10 for greater visibility?

I think it seems reasonable for the second commit updating the warning message text to be backported to 3.10, but you should really ask the release manager @pablogsal. I wouldn't bother going as far back as 3.9 with that.

I am ok backporting the error message to 3.10.

For 3.9 you should check with @ambv

@gpshead @pablogsal: I'm the one who asked for the revert, but I would prefer if someone else merges this PR. Do you want to merge it?

If the intention is to remove these for good in 3.12, it it worth noting that in the docs for readfp? Currently it only says that it's deprecated, but not that it's about to be removed.

I think this is fine. Keeping version numbers straight everywhere and sticking to them is hard enough. The important thing given we have a plan here is that the raised warnings now mention a version.
