[issue39551] mock patch should match behavior of import from when module isn't present in sys.modules

I like that idea, let me see if I can find a way to do that.  This is a little bit different in that it's implicitly trying to find a module, and supports dotting through non-packages as well, but maybe there's a way to leverage importlib and still keep the existing behavior.
