[issue7490] IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL should ignore the module name

[Nick Coghlan]

The only design level question I can see is as follows:

ExceptionName matches ExceptionName (always)
a.b.ExceptionName matches ExceptionName (under IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL)
ExceptionName matches a.b.ExceptionName (under IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL)
a.b.ExceptionName matches x.y.ExceptionName (???)

Should that 4th case still match under IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL? My
personal inclination is that it should match, but figured the point was
worth discussing explicitly.

The main reason I think it should match is that it would allow
reasonably graceful handling of module renames between 2.x and 3.x.
