    Fix compatibility with Python 3.12, importlib-metadata 5.0

    importlib-metadata 5.0 has removed support for dict-style interaction
    with entrypoints [1]. This is going to eventually affect us when Python
    3.12 is released but even before then anyone not properly using upper
    constraints with an older Python 3.7-based release (the only Python
    version where we require the third-party importlib-metadata package
    rather than the stdlib importlib.metadata package) will be bitten. Fix
    it now to address both.
