Imports now raise `TypeError` instead of `ValueError` for relative import failures. This makes things consistent between `builtins.__import__` and `importlib.__import__` as well as using a more natural import for the failure.

In some development setups it is inconvenient or impossible to write bytecode
caches to the code tree, but the bytecode caches are still useful. The
PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX environment variable allows specifying an alternate
location for cached bytecode files, within which a directory tree mirroring the code
tree will be created. This cache tree is then used (for both reading and writing)
instead of the local `__pycache__` subdirectory within each source directory.
Exposed at runtime as sys.pycache_prefix (defaulting to None), and can
be set from the CLI as "-X pycache_prefix=path".
Patch by Carl Meyer.
Previously AttributeError was raised, but that's not very reflective of the fact that the requested module can't be found since the specified parent isn't actually a package.
* bpo-29514: Check magic number for micro release
Add a dict importlib.util.EXPECTED_MAGIC_NUMBERS which
details the initial and expected pyc magic number for
each minor release. This gives a mechanism for users to
check if the magic number has changed within a release and
for a test to ensure procedure is followed if a change is
necessary.
Add a test to check the current MAGIC_NUMBER against the
expected number for the release if the current release is
at candidate or final level. On test failure, describe to
the developer the procedure for changing the magic number.
* Simplify magic number release test
Simplify the magic number release test by removing
EXPECTED_MAGIC_NUMBERS table and making the expected
magic number self-contained within the test.
BPO: 29514
* Improve magic number test execution and message
Improve the execution of the magic number test by
using skipUnless for alpha and beta releases, and
directly inheriting from unittest.TestCase rather than
using the machinery for the other tests. Also improve
the error message to explain the reason for caution in
changing the magic number.

The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
importlib.abc.Loader.exec_module() is also defined.
Before this change, create_module() was optional **and** could return
None to trigger default semantics. This change now reduces the
options for choosing default semantics to one and in the most
backporting-friendly way (define create_module() to return None).
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
The helper function makes it easier to implement
imoprtlib.abc.InspectLoader.get_source() by making that function
require just the raw bytes for source code and handling all other
details.
importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() and implement
importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module().
The importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() method sets the various
attributes on the module being loaded. It is done unconditionally to
support reloading. Typically people used
importlib.util.module_for_loader, but since that's a decorator there
was no way to override it's actions, so init_module_attrs() came into
existence to allow for overriding. This is also why module_for_loader
is now pending deprecation (having its other use replaced by
importlib.util.module_to_load).
All of this allowed for importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module() to
be implemented. At this point you can now implement a loader with
nothing more than get_code() (which only requires get_source();
package support requires is_package()). Thanks to init_module_attrs()
the implementation of load_module() is basically a context manager
containing 2 methods calls, a call to exec(), and a return statement.
handle providing (and cleaning up if needed) the module to be loaded.
A future commit will use the context manager in
Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py and thus why the code is placed there
instead of in Lib/importlib/util.py.
