Remove non-version metadata hack

changelog.d/1268.breaking.md

@@ -0,0 +1,3 @@
+All packaging metadata except from `__version__` and `__version_info__` has been removed from the `attr` and `attrs` modules (for example, `attrs.__url__`).
+
+Please use [`importlib.metadata`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html) or [*importlib_metadata*](https://pypi.org/project/importlib-metadata/) instead.
