Add a script to validate refactored imports

This script can be removed after imports are refactored and checked
to see that module contents are the same as before or otherwise
non-broken.

This script assumes that module contents are the same as the
contents of their dictionaries, and that all modules in the project
get imported as a consequence of importing the top-level module.
These are both the case currently for GitPython, but they do not
hold for all projects, and may not hold for GitPython at some point
in the future.

+"""Script to get the names and "stabilized" reprs of module attributes in GitPython.
+
+Run with :envvar:`PYTHONHASHSEED` set to ``0`` for fully comparable results. These are
+only still meaningful for comparing if the same platform and Python version are used.
+
+The output of this script should probably not be committed, because within the reprs of
+objects found in modules, it may contain sensitive information, such as API keys stored
+in environment variables. The "sanitization" performed here is only for common forms of
+whitespace that clash with the output format.
