Loosen an exception test in test_import to not require an explicit message but instead just the proper exception.

AttributeError in importlib when it should be an ImportError.

Found when running importlib against test_runpy.

Make the exception message check for malformed UTF-8 source looser so that SyntaxError triggered from UnicodeDecodeError is also acceptable.

__package__, it was used. This was incorrect since it could be set to None to
represent the fact that a proper value was unknown. Now None will trigger the
calculation for __package__.

Discovered when running importlib against test_importhooks.

attribute. Was throwing AttributeError before. Discovered when running
test_builtin against importlib.

This exception change is specific to importlib.__import__() and does not apply to
import_module() as it is being done for compatibility reasons only.

Fix the importlib_only test decorator to work again; don't capture the flag variable as it might change later.

running importlib against test___all__.

explain what they are for and how to use command-line arguments to tweak
semantics.

when running entire test suite. Allows normal command-line arguments normally
given to test.regrtest to work (e.g. specifying a single test).

Document the import semantics that if None is found in sys.modules for a module then ImportError is raised.

  Force the http connection to close after any request returned when
  buffering=True as our buffered data is not known to the HTTPConnection and may
  contain data needed by a future request if the connection were left open.

  Revert the changes from r74463, they were causing test_xmlrpc to fail.
  We do not need to force a close when using socket buffering on a
  httplib.HTTPRequest as the library does not support streaming requests
  so there should never been extra data beyond the end of the current
  request to have left over in the requests socket buffer.

  Issue #6794:  Fix handling of NaNs in Decimal.compare_total and
  Decimal.compare_total_mag.
........

The file must be run using runpy. Certain tests are currently excluded from
being run as they have known failures based on golden value checks that fail
for various reasons (typically because __loader__ is not expected to be set on
modules). Running the tests with this file does discover some incompatibilites
in importlib that will be fixed in the near future (as noted currently in the
docstring).

import-specific tests with __import__ instead of importlib.

Obviously one shouldn't do whole sale conversions like this, but I was already
going through the test code and I was bored at the airport.
