demandimport: prefer loaded module over package attribute (issue5617)

In general, the attribute of the same name is overwritten by executing an
import statement.

  import a.b
  print(a.b.c)  # 'c' of a/b/__init__.py
  from a.b.c import d
  print(a.b.c)  # a/b/c.py

However, this appears not true for the scenario described in the test case,
and surprisingly, "from a.b.c import d" works even if "a.b.c" is not a module.

This patch works around the problem by taking the right module from sys.modules
if available.

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.
