thirdparty: allow zope.interface.advice to be lazily imported

The symbol from this module is only used in functions. Let's access
that symbol through its imported module so importing
zope.interface.advice can be lazy.

"""Implementation of interface declarations

There are three flavors of declarations:

  - Declarations are used to simply name declared interfaces.

  - ImplementsDeclarations are used to express the interfaces that a
    class implements (that instances of the class provides).

    Implements specifications support inheriting interfaces.

  - ProvidesDeclarations are used to express interfaces directly
    provided by objects.
