Remove obsolete import guards around gettext in getopt and optparse

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

In getopt and optparse, there are import guards around gettext:

Lines 37 to 41 in 556dc9b

    
           try: 
        
               from gettext import gettext as _ 
        
           except ImportError: 
        
               # Bootstrapping Python: gettext's dependencies not built yet 
        
               def _(s): return s

cpython/Lib/optparse.py

Lines 89 to 100 in 556dc9b

    
           try: 
        
               from gettext import gettext, ngettext 
        
           except ImportError: 
        
               def gettext(message): 
        
                   return message 
        
               def ngettext(singular, plural, n): 
        
                   if n == 1: 
        
                       return singular 
        
                   return plural 
        
           _ = gettext

Based on the original issue that added these, importing gettext directly used to cause some build issues. This does not seem to be the case anymore at least on Linux for me. I'll send a PR to see if any other platforms fail.
