Issue #9260: A finer-grained import lock.

Browse source 
Most of the import sequence now uses per-module locks rather than the
global import lock, eliminating well-known issues with threads and imports.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock(const char *name)
This version of :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModule` does not block. It's intended
to be used in C functions that import other modules to execute a function.
The import may block if another thread holds the import lock. The function
:c:func:`PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock` never blocks. It first tries to fetch
the module from sys.modules and falls back to :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModule`
unless the lock is held, in which case the function will raise an
:exc:`ImportError`.
This function is a deprecated alias of :c:func:`PyImport_ImportModule`.
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
This function used to fail immediately when the import lock was held
by another thread. In Python 3.3 though, the locking scheme switched
to per-module locks for most purposes, so this function's special
behaviour isn't needed anymore.
