[issue24748] Change of behavior for importlib between 3.4 and 3.5 with DLL loading

3.5.0 PR for the change is at https://bitbucket.org/larry/cpython350/pull-requests/16

This *is* a regression (since it's an unintended behavioural change in imp.load_dynamic), but it's one with a relatively straightforward workaround, so it would also be reasonable to defer fixing it to 3.5.1.

On the other hand, the risk is low, since the only functional change is in imp.load_dynamic itself, rather than in the core import machinery (that calls the underlying loader methods directly rather than going through the imp module API).
