[issue7559] TestLoader.loadTestsFromName swallows import errors

This patch implements Michael's suggestion (but not the ErrorHolder part):

http://bugs.python.org/issue7559#msg97462

The unit tests all pass with no change.  If this approach looks good to you, I can add a unit test to the patch that checks that this bug has been fixed.

Also, Twisted Matrix's web site doesn't seem to be responding too well at the moment, but if I recall correctly, their code has a permissive (MIT?) license that should allow a small snippet like this to be copied without taking extra steps.
