[New-bugs-announce] [issue27376] Add mock_import method to mock module

[Eyal Posener]

New submission from Eyal Posener:

Add mock_import method.

A helper function to mask ``ImportError``s on a scoped code, using the ``with`` statement, or in method a method used as a decorator.
Failed imports will be ignored, unless specified by the *do_not_mock* argument.

The *do_not_mock* argument is a package or module name, or package or module names list. When specified, and imported in the scoped mocked code, importing them must succeed. If ``None`` (the default) then no import must succeed.
