Summary
The canonical location for all of these is
qiskit.utils.optionals
,along with all the other import testers. Historically these objects
were available from
qiskit.visualization
just because they were reusedin several places within that module, and now a few downstream packages
have begun importing from there. The alternate path was made available
in Terra 0.20.
