Use `pkgutils.resolve_name()` and a `str` subtype

Python 3.9's new object resolver + a `str` is much simpler then mucking
with tuples (and easier to serialize). Include a `.to_tuple()` formatter
since we still are passing the module namespace and function name
separately inside the runtime's message format but in theory we might be
able to simplify this depending on how we would change the support for
`enable_modules:list[str]` in the spawn API.

Thanks to @Fuyukai for pointing `resolve_name()` which I didn't know
about before!
