Rename joserfc to be namespaced into authlib.

[kuwv]

Why not just treat authlib as a namespace for jose by naming this package authlib-jose?

This would allow the module to install right into the module path as it is now. This would allow less refactoring to breakout the jose submodules. Also, it would allow for additional separation of other capabilities in the future.

This is what namespaces were designed for anyway.

But how can we deal with current situation? Currently Authlib has a jose module, if joserfc is namespaced as authlib.jose, it will be a conflict with Authlib.

What I'm recommending would export the authlib.jose itself as the package authlib-jose. When installed it will install to the same directory path in site-packages. So, if done correctly it will align with the current layout as it is.

pip install authlib[jose]

from authlib import jose

This should produce the authlib in the current layout. Same can be done for the the integrations.

Except this is also possible:

pip install authlib-jose

Some package restructuring may be required unless the legacy namespaces are used. I'd recommend prototyping a example.
