[next major] Do not shadow Python standard-library module #246

@benoit74

Description

@benoit74

Ruff / Flake8 has a new rule A005: https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/stdlib-module-shadowing/

It is recommended to not shadow Python standard-library modules.

Currently, we have 5 issues:

src/zimscraperlib/html.py:1:1: A005 Module `html` shadows a Python standard-library module
src/zimscraperlib/logging.py:1:1: A005 Module `logging` shadows a Python standard-library module
src/zimscraperlib/rewriting/html.py:1:1: A005 Module `html` shadows a Python standard-library module
src/zimscraperlib/types.py:1:1: A005 Module `types` shadows a Python standard-library module
src/zimscraperlib/typing.py:1:1: A005 Module `typing` shadows a Python standard-library module

For now, I've disabled the rule A005 in #245 but we need to make a finer decision.

I think that logging module is shadowing "on-purpose" and might be allowed. Others could be considered for renaming. But I don't have very good suggestions of names, so I'm not 100% convinced, if we end-up with bad names, I'm not sure it really ease maintenance at all.
