policy: add helper to import cext/pure module

These functions are sysstr API since __import__() and getattr() hate byte
strings on Python 3.

There's a minor BC, which is ImportError will be raised if invalid
HGMODULEPOLICY is specified. I think this is more desired behavior.

We're planning to add strict checking for C API compatibility. This patch
includes the stub for it.

# Rules for how modules can be loaded. Values are:
#
#    c - require C extensions
#    allow - allow pure Python implementation when C loading fails
#    cffi - required cffi versions (implemented within pure module)
#    cffi-allow - allow pure Python implementation if cffi version is missing
#    py - only load pure Python modules
#
# By default, fall back to the pure modules so the in-place build can
# run without recompiling the C extensions. This will be overridden by
# __modulepolicy__ generated by setup.py.
