The commit for I1654befe9eb1c8b8e7fc0784bdbe64284614f0ea #5357
runs the test on all Python 3 versions, however we need to limit
at least python 3.6 for this.

Added a ``**kw`` argument to the :meth:`.DeclarativeMeta.__init__` method.
This allows a class to support the :pep:`487` metaclass hook
``__init_subclass__``.  Pull request courtesy Ewen Gillies.

towards the goal of reducing verbosity and repetition
in test fixtures as well as that we are moving to
connection only for execution, move the insert_data()
classmethod to accept a connection and adjust all
fixtures to use it.

The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the
:func:`.relationship` function when using the Declarative API is no longer
interpreted using the Python ``eval()`` function; instead, the name is dot
separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution
dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression.  However,
passing a string argument to the other :func:`.relationship` parameters
that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use ``eval()``;
the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity
that this is in use.

Also remove no longer used compat code

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.

Enhanced logic that tracks if relationships will be conflicting with each
other when they write to the same column to include simple cases of two
relationships that should have a "backref" between them.   This means that
if two relationships are not viewonly, are not linked with back_populates
and are not otherwise in an inheriting sibling/overriding arrangement, and
will populate the same foreign key column, a warning is emitted at mapper
configuration time warning that a conflict may arise.  A new parameter
:paramref:`.relationship.overlaps` is added to suit those very rare cases
where such an overlapping persistence arrangement may be unavoidable.

The "expanding IN" feature, which generates IN expressions at query
execution time which are based on the particular parameters associated with
the statement execution, is now used for all IN expressions made against
lists of literal values.   This allows IN expressions to be fully cacheable
independently of the list of values being passed, and also includes support
for empty lists. For any scenario where the IN expression contains
non-literal SQL expressions, the old behavior of pre-rendering for each
position in the IN is maintained. The change also completes support for
expanding IN with tuples, where previously type-specific bind processors
weren't taking effect.

As part of this change, a more explicit separation between
"literal execute" and "post compile" bound parameters is being made;
as the "ansi bind rules" feature is rendering bound parameters
inline, as we now support "postcompile" generically, these should
be used here, however we have to render literal values at
execution time even for "expanding" parameters.  new test fixtures
etc. are added to assert everything goes to the right place.

This is a very useful assertion which prevents unused variables
from being set up allows code to be more readable and sometimes
even more efficient.  test suites seem to be where the most
problems are and there do not seem to be documentation examples
that are using this, or at least the linter is not taking effect
within rst blocks.

Fixed bug where the :attr:`.Mapper.all_orm_descriptors` accessor would
return an entry for the :class:`.Mapper` itself under the declarative
``__mapper___`` key, when this is not a descriptor.  The ``.is_attribute``
flag that's present on all :class:`.InspectionAttr` objects is now
consulted, which has also been modified to be ``True`` for an association
proxy, as it was erroneously set to False for this object.
