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.

Prior to this change the guard on an 'elif' used an assignment expression whose value was used in a later 'else' block, causing some confusion for people.

Fix importlib examples to insert any newly created modules via importlib.util.module_from_spec() immediately into sys.modules instead of after calling loader.exec_module().
Thanks to Benjamin Mintz for finding the bug.

While the introduction of ModuleNotFoundError was fully backwards
compatible on the import API consumer side, folks providing alternative
implementations of `__import__` need to make an update to be
forward compatible with clients that start relying on the new subclass.

Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
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.
modules can't be lazily loaded.
Thanks to Python 3.6 allowing for types.ModuleType to have its
__class__ mutated, the restriction can be lifted by calling
create_module() on the wrapped loader.
