ndiff: Fix support for Python 3.12

Ansuel · Ansuel · commit e87be0bf6cc0 · 2024-04-28T21:52:55.000+02:00
Python 3.12 deprecated and removed the already deprecated and not documented imp library (the load_source function was never documented) Replace this with a modern alternative suggested by python/cpython#104212. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
