Summary: Reloading pseudo modules

Initial Comment:
Python allows to put something that is not a module in
sys.modules. Unfortunately reload() does not work wth
such a pseudo module ("TypeError: reload() argument
must be module" is raised). This patch changes
Python/import.c::PyImport_ReloadModule() so that it
works with anything that has a __name__ attribute that
can be found in sys.modules.keys().

I think the exceptions need to be reworked: "must be a
module" now only occurs if m is NULL. Under what
circumstances could that happen? Failure to provide __name__
is passed through; shouldn't this get diagnosed in a better way?
