demandimport: fix level passed to loader of sub-modules

As the fromlist gives the names of sub-modules, they should be searched in
the parent directory of the package's __init__.py, which is level=1.

I got the following error by rewriting hgweb to use absolute_import, where
the "mercurial" package is referenced as ".." (level=2):

  ValueError: Attempted relative import beyond toplevel package

I know little about the import mechanism, but this change seems correct.
Before this patch, the following code did import the os module with no error:

  from mercurial import demandimport
  demandimport.enable()
  from mercurial import os
  print os.name

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
