Description

If you want imports to be lazy - put them in your functions.
No lazy import in WPS.

We need to wait for 3.15 to be released for this feature to be implemented.

Research direction

First confirm that Python 3.15 has been released, since the issue says implementation must wait for it. Then inspect the existing import-related rules and tests in wemake-python-styleguide; done means code using lazy imports is reported by the linter while imports placed inside functions remain allowed.
