Remove pkg_resources usage (#100)

`pkg_resources` is part of `setuptools`, so removing it allows not having a runtime dep on `setuptools`. It is also discouraged since `importlib` has the necessary features.
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Declare `importlib_resources`  as a dependency for tests in 3.8 (since the `.files()` method was added in 3.9 stdlib)

Update Read the Docs config to avoid the default 3.7 version.

Relevant to sourmash-bio/sourmash#2433 and NixOS/nixpkgs#205878
