[issue32414] PyCapsule_Import fails when name is in the form 'package.module.capsule'

[Petr Viktorin]

An option would be to use a colon to separate the module(s) from the attribute(s). The "inspect" module CLI does this, for example:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#command-line-interface

$ python3 -m inspect urllib.parse:SplitResult.geturl
    def geturl(self):
        return urlunsplit(self)

A colon can't appear in an identifier, so the old way can be used if there's no colon in the argument, making this backwards compatible.
