881535b726 Issue #14582: Import returns the module returned by a loader instead
of sys.modules when possible.

This is being done for two reasons. One is to gain a little bit of
performance by skipping an unnecessary dict lookup in sys.modules. But
the other (and main) reason is to be a little bit more clear in how
things should work from the perspective of import's interactions with
loaders. Otherwise loaders can easily forget to return the module even
though PEP 302 explicitly states they are expected to return the module
they loaded.

49f8d8b016 Handle importing pkg.mod by executing
__import__('mod', {'__packaging__': 'pkg', level=1) w/o properly (and
thus not segfaulting).

fd0741555b Issue #2377: Make importlib the implementation of __import__().
importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().
