[issue15836] unittest assertRaises should verify excClass is actually a BaseException class

[Berker Peksag]

Since the patch has been reviewed by several core developers, I think you can go ahead and commit it.

I'm +0 on the 2.7 version of the patch (the isinstance(e, types.ClassType) part looks fine, but I haven't tested it). It's probably not worth to change anything on the 2.7 branch now :)
