Closes #10031 : overhaul the "imports" section of the programming FAQ.
...
Remove the advice to never use relative imports; it is a leftover from 2.x implicit relative imports.
Remove the advice to locally import modules in __init__, it is a strange practice.
Remove the advice to use "from ... import *" with some modules.

#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.
