Georg Brandl a94ad1e508 Closes #10031: overhaul the "imports" section of the programming FAQ.

Remove the advice to locally import modules in __init__, it is a strange practice.
Remove the advice to use "from ... import *" with some modules.

R David Murray 6bd68608ff #21739: mention subtle difference between loops and listcomps in tutorial.
We don't want to go into a full explanation of scopes at this point in the
tutorial, so we just mention that the loop creates or overwrites a persistent
variable while the listcomp doesn't.  Not mentioning this would lead someone
to incorrectly assume loops and listcomps were *completely* equivalent, which
would confuse them later.

Original patch by Rose Ames, tweaked to remove the word 'scope'.

R David Murray 12dc0d96e0 #20135: FAQ entry for list mutation. (See also 6375bf34fff6.)
I accidentally committed this in 6375bf34fff6; this changeset addresses the
last review comments on the patch.

This is a perennial question and something someone opens a ticket for probably
every other month or so, so I'm surprised we didn't already have a FAQ entry
for it.

The original patch was written by M. Votz, refined first by Ezio Melotti and
further refined by me.
