import-checker: make test-module-imports.t work using virtualenv (issue4129)

This patch modifies contrib/import-checker.py so that test-module-imports.t
will pass if run using virtualenv.  The patch achieves this by adding two
new prefixes to the list of allowable sys.path prefixes.  The added prefixes
are the directories of two modules in the stdlib.  The modules selected are
a minimal set that allowed the return value of list_stdlib_modules() to
match the return value without virtualenv, when run on the patch author's
machine: Mac OS X 10.8, Python 2.7.6.
