[issue5230] pydoc reports misleading failure if target module raises an ImportError

[R. David Murray]

I've uploaded a new version of the patch and test suite.  I wanted a few
more test cases but didn't want to litter the test directory with little
test files, so I borrowed some techniques from test_import and created
the modules to import on the fly.

I haven't come up with a fix for your last test case (yet?).  I've
commented the test to indicate this.  I think to fix it we may need to
look into the traceback itself.
