Brett Cannon 23cbd8a656 Add initial implementation of importlib. See the NOTES files for what is
planned for the package.

There are no docs yet, but they are coming once the API for the first new
function, importlib.import_module() is finalized.

found, then the proper steps are taken to perform the import, but
sys.modules is still used to return the imported module (e.g., not what a
loader returns) [from cache on return]. This also applies to imports of
things contained within a package and thus get assigned as an attribute
