Summary: Unambiguous import for encodings

Initial Comment:
The __import__ call in encodings/__init__.py does not
specify module hierarchy explicitly. This results in
misleading error tracebacks (try
"codecs.lookup('codecs')"). Worse, it results in an
error when one is trying to lookup a codec and the
encoding's name fires some top-level module, e.g
'base64', despite that a codec for this encoding may
actually be registered in the system.

It appears that this patch has been superceded by #571603;
closing this one as a duplicate.

I'm in favour of integrating this patch, even though it
means that some codecs that are currently found won't be
found anymore. Authors of such codecs would need to register
a search function.
