Issue 31642: None value in sys.modules no longer blocks import

Since Python 3.6, the blocking of imports is broken for 'from package import module' imports.

$ mkdir a
$ touch a/__init__.py a/b.py

>>> import sys
>>> sys.modules['a.b'] = None
>>> from a import b
>>> b is None
True
>>> import a.b
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: import of 'a.b' halted; None in sys.modules

Tests with Python 2.7 to master:

$ python2.7 -c "from a import b; print(b)"
<module 'a.b' from 'a/b.py'>
$ python2.7 -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name b
$ python2.7 -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name b
$ python3.4 -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: import of 'a.b' halted; None in sys.modules
$ python3.5 -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: import of 'a.b' halted; None in sys.modules
$ python3.6 -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"
$ ./python -c "import sys; sys.modules['a.b'] = None; from a import b"

This is a side effect of issue15767. The exception is raised in _find_and_load, but it is always silenced in _handle_fromlist.

PR 3834 provide possible solution of this issue.

Initially import errors were silenced for solving issue15715. An import error raised when import was blocked by setting None in sys.modules was not silenced because it has different error message. I don't know whether this was intentional. In issue15767 (5fdb8c897023) the error message test was replaced by the type test, and that exception become silenced (I suppose it was not intentional).
